The actual number is that 98% have less than 2 stars (0 or 1). About 90.25% has zero stars.
Sounds like Claude commits are, on average, going into higher visibility repositories than humans… maybe the author would like to reconsider their approach?
I think this is useful in answering the grandparent comment's question:
stars : uniq(k)
1 : 14946505
10 : 1196622
100 : 213026
1000 : 28944
10000 : 1847
100000 : 20
You should check recent commits, because obviously there are a lot of forked 0 star repos.
So Claude repos are statistically more likely to have stars than the average GitHub repo. Not the conclusion the headline was going for.
