I've looked on github, and googled this, but can't find anything. I'd like to see a history of downloads of code on one of our repositories if that is possible. Thanks.
As far as I know Github currently does not support this - at least not exposed to the general public.
You may want to contacting support to see if they can assist.

This might be a basic github question, but I'm having trouble finding the right keywords to google because I don't know the terminology. Apologies and thanks in advance.
I've noticed with library dependencies in library.json, under "dependencies", there is often a github remote repo link with a version number after the #
For example
https://github.com/codewitch-honey-crisis/htcw_ili9341.git#1.0.0"
What is that exactly after the #? A branch? A release?
More importantly, how do I make my github repo expose these. Like, I want to make a 1.0.0 one now for htcw_ili9341.git but later I may want to make 1.0.1
Using the github website, and/or the command line, how do I go about this?
It would be really helpful if you explained as you went as well.
So you know where I'm coming from with this, I've been using github for awhile but only for the most basic things, and driving it all through VS Code for the most part, sometimes resorting to the web interface and only occasionally dropping to the command line, which I've done a handful of times to resolve merge conflicts. I'm not an expert, but not completely new to it either.
anything after # is never posted to the server. It's basically a comment in this specific instance.
I have it in my head to help people at my company get better by finding a way to highlight and call out good code.
In particular, I'd like to be able to mark a file (not a repository or directory) as having a "gold star" (or another badge) so people browsing our source code who see the badge can see they're looking at a really good implementation they might take inspiration from.
I'm taking inspiration from the code owners feature on GitHub where there's a little padlock icon on a file if it's assigned ownership by the CODEOWNERS file.
Is it possible to do a custom "badge" on GitHub? If so, what's the API?
Browsing the GitHub documentation and searching online, I wasn't able to find anything explaining how to do something like this. Most folks were talking about the little images badges like the code coverage badges people put in their readme files.
Checkout this thread. You can submit feature request to GitLab and GitHub or in case of GitLab code your own feature and submit PR.
Here are some closely related discussions. Probably you have already seen them and are not looking for them but you might use them to get idea of how to create the feature that you want.
The Shields service (at shields.io) provides a way to create custom badges for your projects. These are badges are very common and are frequently used to show status information about the project, or demonstrate tools that were used for the development of your project. (...more)

I don't know whether this question should have come in this platform or not but I wanted to ask that let us say I made a github repository which was public. Now another person who has no relation with me downloaded the code, edited it and posted it in play store. I found out that this app which is in play store was my one of the github repositories with some edit. So should I issue a copyright or something or is it fine I should not do anything?
PS: This hasn't happened with me in real. I was just having fear of my repository being used by other but I guess they are so bad that no one would like to use them. Another thing is that pls don't comment that you should make your repositories private.
Any help will be appreciated.
If you are making you repo public you yourself are permitting others to use it. But to prevent misuse of your code and work there are open source licenses available that you can add to your public repo that will put some restrictions on its usage.

So basically I am trying to learn C# and JS and I'm doing so by reading documentation and solving some small exercises.
I read somewhere that uploading most of your work to GitHub is helpful when you apply for a job so people can actually see that you've been working.
Since I am not that familiar with GitHub (I read some documentation but it confused me a bit) I wanted to know what is the best way to upload my exercises there?
I think you should do some beginner course about "Git" and "Github".
It's definitely a good idea to use GitHub desktop. This tool makes it easier to manage and commit changes.
The easiest way would be to create a git repository for each of your projects. Put the files in there and upload them to GitHub.
Try looking at GitHub documentation like this to get started:
https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/
I am checking out code using GitHub client for Windows. When I press "clone" button in browser, it looks like I have a local copy. However, there are a few files that GitHub is asking me to commit. Now, I have not even made any changes to anything on my local. So why is it asking me to "commit"?
Can anyone tell me why I am facing this problem. Also, are there any good GitHub tutorials to follow?
Thanks in advance,
There is a great github tutorial here, that should get you started with the basics: http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/.
