Description

The Markdown GitHub Stars Updater leverages the GitHub API to fetch accurate star counts for your GitHub repositories and automatically integrates them into your Markdown files. Our program provides a user-friendly star count format, catering to different star counts:

• If the star count is less than 1000, the exact star count is displayed as "⭐35".
• If the star count falls between 1000 and 9999, it's represented as "⭐1.1k" for 1100 stars.
• For star counts of 10000 or more, the format changes to "⭐10k" for 10000 stars.
