// BREAKOUT REPOS
Projects that crossed major star milestones in the last 30 days — from unknown to 1k, from 1k to 10k, and beyond. These are the repos that just hit escape velocity.
No breakout repos detected in the last 30 days.
This report requires at least 30 days of snapshot data to compare milestones.
// METHODOLOGY
A breakout is defined as a repo whose star count crossed a major threshold (1k, 5k, 10k, 25k, 50k, or 100k) within the last 30 days. Only repos with enriched context are included. Each repo is tagged with the highest threshold crossed. Data is sourced from daily GitHub API snapshots and refreshed every hour.
