About this data
This page is generated from StarHunt's index of GitHub profiles, built by our crawler and refreshed regularly, with this page regenerated weekly. Profiles are sourced from contributors to reference open-source repositories and from GitHub Search, then located via the public GitHub profile field (normalized across common variants). StarHunt ranks the most active developers by their real open-source footprint, part of a worldwide index that grows continuously. Figures reflect the developers ranked in France.
Profiles are ranked by how well they match a given search rather than by a fixed score, and only developers with a clear signal of activity in the relevant technologies are surfaced.
