- What does the GitHub Stars Tracker Stream Deck plugin do?
- Stars, forks, issues and milestones — on a key that flashes gold the moment you cross one. It adds 4 capabilities to your deck: 7 actions, zero setup, Auto milestone ladder, Gold flash on hit, Public repos work tokenless.
- Is a Stream Deck plugin different from a Stream Deck profile?
- Yes, and they solve different problems. A profile is a layout: its keys fire keyboard shortcuts into whichever application is in focus. A plugin is software: its keys talk to a service and display what comes back on the key face itself. GitHub Stars Tracker is a plugin, so its keys show live values rather than sending keystrokes — which is why it works whether or not the app it reports on is even open.
- How do I install the GitHub Stars Tracker plugin?
- Buy it on the Elgato Marketplace and open the downloaded file; the Elgato Stream Deck software installs it and its actions appear in the actions list on the right, under GitHub Stars Tracker. Drag an action onto a key and fill in its settings. No separate installer and nothing to configure outside the Stream Deck app.
- Which Stream Deck models does GitHub Stars Tracker work with?
- All of them — Stream Deck Mini, Stream Deck Neo, Stream Deck MK.2, Stream Deck XL, Stream Deck +, Stream Deck + XL. Plugin actions are placed on keys one at a time rather than shipped as a fixed layout, so device size only decides how many you can show at once. Dial actions, where the plugin has them, need Stream Deck + or Stream Deck + XL.
- What does GitHub Stars Tracker cost?
- €0.99, once, on the Elgato Marketplace — no subscription. Updates to the plugin are included.
