Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. automatically update the GitHub star on websites homepage to match Start count of this GitHub's repo.

Describe the solution you'd like To automatically sync the star count of this GitHub's repo with a count displayed on homepage (utilising the GitHub API). By implementing a server-side function, we can fetch the star count dynamically. This will enable auto update to the current star count of the repository on your homepage.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. Using third party libraries such as Shields.io or Badgen.
  2. Github web hook.

@kingdanie this functionality already exists for the site - we don't hard code the stars count and we rely on the GitHub API to get this number. I'll close this issue, but feel free to re-open it if there's more context you would like to add!
