Recently I came across a download badge for an R project counting how many people installed the package: [https://github.com/chgrl/leafletR](https://github.com/chgrl/leafletR)

Do we have something similar for Julia tracking the number of git clones? It would be interesting to keep an eye on the numbers.

maybe we could use some Github APIs to dump the numbers: [Viewing traffic to a repository - GitHub Docs](https://help.github.com/articles/viewing-traffic-to-a-repository/)

I think CI clones would dominate.
