I created a new repository yesterday, and it’s already showing over 100 clones. Is this data accurate? How many of these clones are from real users? Could you help me understand and track this?

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @hemanthkarnal!

We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Discussions category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. This question should be in the Repositories category. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!

High clone counts on new repository are normal and expected. Clone metrics measure activity, not popularity. Stars, forks, and discussion activity are better indicators of real users.
