Explore rankings based on stars, contributions, and followers. Dive into dynamic leaderboards to see how you rank against developers worldwide and within your own country.
I built GitRanks because I’ve always wanted a clear, fun way to see how my open-source work compares - both globally and right here at home. The app pulls in GitHub data to give every developer an at-a-glance “scorecard”, then rolls those into live leaderboards so you can: - Track rankings by stars, contributions, and followers - Filter worldwide vs. your own country (great for local bragging rights!) - Refresh daily - no waiting weeks to see your progress - Discover rising devs you’ve never heard of and follow their work
This is just v1, and I’d love your thoughts! What metrics or filters would make the leaderboards even more useful? Anything unclear or missing? Drop your feedback below - bug reports, feature wishes, or a simple “hi” are all welcome. If you find it helpful, an upvote would mean a lot. Thanks for checking it out!
Really cool! Sort of like arcade top list for makers. Huge potential within this. I remember git-charts came out many moons ago, but didnt take of. I think done right. And maybe adding recruitment to the fold. it can really be huge! Congrats on the launch!
@sentry_co Recruitment tools are exactly what I think of when it comes to monetization!
GitRanks will always be free. This is my attempt to create something useful for the open-source community - something that will push developers forward in creating awesome tools open to everyone.
Under the hood, I have an API that pulls all repositories with 5+ stars and then analyzes all profiles that have contributed to those repos. On average, it takes about a week to update the data, so I can track the dynamics of every public profile with open-source activity.
It’s a really good idea to use that data to connect recruiters with GitHub users and help people find their next job based on their public GitHub footprint.
@maslianok Yeah. So much data available that isnt used. With AI you can eve give rich insight for recruiters at scale into the type of dev persona people are. How they think, How they progress, How they have developed over time etc.
The contribution score has no weights or hidden formulas - it’s simply the sum of the stars from all public repositories a GitHub profile has merged PRs into. We don’t access any private user data, only publicly available information that anyone can verify.
For example, if Profile X has merged PRs into three repositories:
10 merged PRs to Repository A (owned by Y) with 100 stars
1 merged PR to Repository B (owned by Z) with 100 stars
1 merged PR to Repository C (owned by X) with 100 stars
Then the contribution score for Profile X would be 200 (I exclude stars from repositories the profile owns).
This score is dynamic - if "Repository A" earns more stars, Profile X’s contribution score will be recalculated to reflect the new value.
So, I invite everyone to contribute to the GitRanks GitHub repo - hopefully, we’ll get more stars soon! Haha 🙂

Sounds very handy for dev profiles. Do you weight recency, recognize multi-repo work, and support private contribs (opt-in)?
