Hi @GenCoder8 and welcome to GitHub! One note, however, is that these cloners may not have been specifically interested in your repository - there are services making use of our API endpoints, for example |

Ok thanks for the answer. I was just surprised that there are 24 Unique cloners in two weeks and I haven’t advertised the repository at all |

You’re very welcome. Hopefully automated traffic helps explain this (even if it’s perhaps disappointing for a new project!). Please let us know if you have any more questions, and welcome again! |
