Prepare your project for developer visitors
Add a clear README, installation steps, a working example and screenshots or a demo. Explain who the project is for so developers can understand it when they visit.
GitHub repository promotion
Promote your GitHub repository to real developers
Give your public repository a place in the GitHubStarMate developer community. Choose a paid credit package, set the Star, Watch and Fork actions you want, and track completed promotion in your dashboard.
Set your promotion budget and action types
Choose a one-time promotion credit package and connect a public target repository. Each completed Star, Watch or Fork consumes one credit, according to your enabled actions. Credits do not expire and can be combined with later purchases.
Review the actions your credits paid for
The dashboard shows your purchases, remaining balance and completed promotion actions. Delivery proceeds as eligible accounts and actions become available. Use these records alongside your own traffic and usage analytics.
Combine promotion with releases and feedback
Promote a launch, new feature or existing project while continuing to publish useful examples and releases. Developer exposure creates an opportunity to introduce the project; it does not guarantee downloads, contributions, customers or rankings.
Common questions
Which repositories can I promote?
The service is intended for public GitHub repositories, including open source libraries, AI projects, developer tools and product demos. Set your target repository and action types before purchasing.
How is repository promotion priced?
Choose a credit package on the pricing page. Each completed Star, Watch or Fork uses one credit. The total number of Stars depends on which actions you enable.
Do I need to exchange Stars before paying?
You can choose a paid package directly. Free developer exchange is available separately.
Does promotion guarantee users or rankings?
No. Completed promotion actions are visible in your dashboard, but users, sales, contributions and search rankings are separate outcomes.
