Preserving GitHub Traffic: Beyond the 14-Day Wall

GitHub's native analytics are limited to a rolling 14-day window, preventing developers from tracking long-term repository trends or measuring sustained impact. gghstats preserves this data indefinitely by automatically archiving traffic metrics in a self-hosted SQLite database. For open-source maintainers, this fills a critical gap in understanding repository growth and validating the long-term value of releases and promotions.
