## Overview

This is a small Python GitHub Trending scraper. Running the script creates a date-stamped Markdown report, fetches trending repositories for four languages, and extracts repository names and descriptions. The README describes daily tracking and long-running VPS use; the repository also contains historical reports. The sampled code shows report generation and the GitHub request, but not automated scheduling or writing into the year-based archive, so those connections are omitted.

Main entry points: [`scraper.py`](https://github.com/bonfy/github-trending/blob/master/scraper.py) (Language scraper)
