We use caching to prevent this from happening (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options). You can turn off these rate limit protections by deploying [your own Vercel instance](#disable-rate-limit-protections). # GitHub Stats Card Copy-paste this into your markdown content, and that is it. Simple! Change the `?username=` value to your GitHub username. ```md [![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` > **Warning** > By default, the stats card only shows statistics like stars, commits and pull requests from public repositories. To show private statistics on the stats card, you should [deploy your own instance](#deploy-on-your-own) using your own GitHub API token. > **Note** > Available ranks are S (top 1%), A+ (12.5%), A (25%), A- (37.5%), B+ (50%), B (62.5%), B- (75%), C+ (87.5%) and C (everyone). This ranking scheme is based on the [Japanese academic grading](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Japan) system. The global percentile is calculated as a weighted sum of percentiles for each statistic (number of commits, pull requests, issues, stars and followers), based on the cumulative distribution function of the [exponential](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/exponential_distribution) and the [log-normal](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution) distributions. The implementation can be investigated at [src/calculateRank.js](./src/calculateRank.js). The circle around the rank shows 100 minus the global percentile. ### Hiding individual stats You can pass a query parameter `&hide=` to hide any specific stats with comma-separated values. > Options: `&hide=stars,commits,prs,issues,contribs` ```md ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&hide=contribs,prs) ``` ### Showing icons To enable icons, you can pass `&show_icons=true` in the query param, like so: ```md ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true) ``` ### Themes With inbuilt themes, you can customize the look of the card without doing any [manual customization](#customization). Use `&theme=THEME_NAME` parameter like so : ```md ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=radical) ``` #### All inbuilt themes GitHub readme stats comes with several built-in themes (e.g. `dark`, `radical`, `merko`, `gruvbox`, `tokyonight`, `onedark`, `cobalt`, `synthwave`, `highcontrast`, `dracula`). GitHub Readme Stats Themes You can look at a preview for [all available themes](./themes/README.md) or checkout the [theme config file](./themes/index.js) & **you can also contribute new themes** if you like :D #### Responsive Card Theme [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Dark](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=dark#gh-dark-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#responsive-card-theme#gh-dark-mode-only) [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Light](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=default#gh-light-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#responsive-card-theme#gh-light-mode-only) Since GitHub will re-upload the cards and serve them from their [CDN](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/about-anonymized-urls), we can not infer the browser/GitHub theme on the server side. There are, however, four methods you can use to create dynamics themes on the client side. ##### Use the transparent theme We have included a `transparent` theme that has a transparent background. This theme is optimized to look good on GitHub's dark and light default themes. You can enable this theme using the `&theme=transparent` parameter like so: ```md ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=transparent) ```
:eyes: Show example ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=transparent)
##### Add transparent alpha channel to a themes bg_color You can use the `bg_color` parameter to make any of [the available themes](./themes/README.md) transparent. This is done by setting the `bg_color` to a color with a transparent alpha channel (i.e. `bg_color=00000000`): ```md ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&bg_color=00000000) ```
:eyes: Show example ![Anurag's GitHub stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&bg_color=00000000)
##### Use GitHub's theme context tag You can use [GitHub's theme context](https://github.blog/changelog/2021-11-24-specify-theme-context-for-images-in-markdown/) tags to switch the theme based on the user GitHub theme automatically. This is done by appending `#gh-dark-mode-only` or `#gh-light-mode-only` to the end of an image URL. This tag will define whether the image specified in the markdown is only shown to viewers using a light or a dark GitHub theme: ```md [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Dark](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=dark#gh-dark-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-dark-mode-only) [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Light](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=default#gh-light-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-light-mode-only) ```
:eyes: Show example [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Dark](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=dark#gh-dark-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-dark-mode-only) [![Anurag's GitHub stats-Light](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=default#gh-light-mode-only)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-light-mode-only)
##### Use GitHub's new media feature You can use [GitHub's new media feature](https://github.blog/changelog/2022-05-19-specify-theme-context-for-images-in-markdown-beta/) in HTML to specify whether to display images for light or dark themes. This is done using the HTML `` element in combination with the `prefers-color-scheme` media feature. ```html ```

You are no longer limited to 6 pinned repositories. ### Usage Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links. Endpoint: `api/pin?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats` ```md [![Readme Card](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` ### Demo ![Readme Card](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats) Use [show_owner](#customization) variable to include the repo's owner username ![Readme Card](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats&show_owner=true) # Top Languages Card The top languages card shows a GitHub user's most frequently used top language. > **Warning** > By default, the language card shows language results only from public repositories. To include languages used in private repositories, you should [deploy your own instance](#deploy-on-your-own) using your own GitHub API token. > **Note** > Top Languages does not indicate the user's skill level or anything like that; it's a GitHub metric to determine which languages have the most code on GitHub. It is a new feature of github-readme-stats. > **Warning** > This card shows languages usage only inside your own non-forked repositories, not depending from who is the author of the commits. It does not include your contributions into another users/organizations repositories. Currently there are no way to get this data from GitHub API. If you want this behavior to be improved you can support [this feature request](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/18230) created by [@rickstaa](https://github.com/rickstaa) inside GitHub Community. ### Usage Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links. Endpoint: `api/top-langs?username=anuraghazra` ```md [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` ### Language stats algorithm We use the following algorithm to calculate the languages percentages on the language card: ```js ranking_index = (byte_count ^ size_weight) * (repo_count ^ count_weight) ``` By default, only the byte count is used for determining the languages percentages shown on the language card (i.e. `size_weight=1` and `count_weight=0`). You can, however, use the `&size_weight=` and `&count_weight=` options to weight the language usage calculation. The values must be positive real numbers. [More details about the algorithm can be found here](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1600#issuecomment-1046056305). - `&size_weight=1&count_weight=0` - _(default)_ Orders by byte count. - `&size_weight=0.5&count_weight=0.5` - _(recommended)_ Uses both byte and repo count for ranking - `&size_weight=0&count_weight=1` - Orders by repo count ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&size_weight=0.5&count_weight=0.5) ``` ### Exclude individual repositories You can use the `&exclude_repo=repo1,repo2` parameter to exclude individual repositories. ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&exclude_repo=github-readme-stats,anuraghazra.github.io) ``` ### Hide individual languages You can use `&hide=language1,language2` parameter to hide individual languages. ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&hide=javascript,html) ``` ### Show more languages You can use the `&langs_count=` option to increase or decrease the number of languages shown on the card. Valid values are integers between 1 and 10 (inclusive), and the default is 5. ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&langs_count=8) ``` ### Compact Language Card Layout You can use the `&layout=compact` option to change the card design. ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=compact) ``` ### Donut Chart Language Card Layout You can use the `&layout=donut` option to change the card design. ```md [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=donut)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` ### Donut Vertical Chart Language Card Layout You can use the `&layout=donut-vertical` option to change the card design. ```md [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=donut-vertical)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` ### Pie Chart Language Card Layout You can use the `&layout=pie` option to change the card design. ```md [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=pie)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) ``` ### Hide Progress Bars You can use the `&hide_progress=true` option to hide the percentages and the progress bars (layout will be automatically set to `compact`). ```md ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&hide_progress=true) ``` ### Demo ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra) - Compact layout ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=compact) - Donut Chart layout [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=donut)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) - Donut Vertical Chart layout [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=donut-vertical)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) - Pie Chart layout [![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&layout=pie)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats) - Hidden progress bars ![Top Langs](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs/?username=anuraghazra&hide_progress=true) # Wakatime Stats Card > **Warning** > Please be aware that we currently only show data from Wakatime profiles that are public.

To do that, you can use this approach: ```html ``` # Deploy on your own ## On Vercel ### :film_projector: [Check Out Step By Step Video Tutorial By @codeSTACKr](https://youtu.be/n6d4KHSKqGk?t=107) Since the GitHub API only allows 5k requests per hour, my `https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api` could possibly hit the rate limiter. If you host it on your own Vercel server, then you do not have to worry about anything. Click on the deploy button to get started! > **Note** > Since [#58](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/pull/58), we should be able to handle more than 5k requests and have fewer issues with downtime :grin:. > **Note** > If you are on the [Pro (i.e. paid)](https://vercel.com/pricing) Vercel plan, the [maxDuration](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/project-configuration#value-definition) value found in the [Vercel.json](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/blob/master/vercel.json) can be increased when your Vercel instance frequently times out during the card request. You are advised to keep this value lower than `30` seconds to prevent high memory usage.

:hammer_and_wrench: Step-by-step guide on setting up your own Vercel instance 1. Go to [vercel.com](https://vercel.com/). 2. Click on `Log in`. ![](https://files.catbox.moe/pcxk33.png) 3. Sign in with GitHub by pressing `Continue with GitHub`. ![](https://files.catbox.moe/b9oxey.png) 4. Sign in to GitHub and allow access to all repositories if prompted. 5. Fork this repo. 6. Go back to your [Vercel dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard). 7. To import a project, click the `Add New...` button and select the `Project` option. ![](https://files.catbox.moe/3n76fh.png) 8. Click the `Continue with GitHub` button, search for the required Git Repository and import it by clicking the `Import` button. Alternatively, you can import a Third-Party Git Repository using the `Import Third-Party Git Repository ->` link at the bottom of the page. ![](https://files.catbox.moe/mg5p04.png) 9. Create a personal access token (PAT) [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and enable the `repo` and `user` permissions (this allows access to see private repo and user stats). 10. Add the PAT as an environment variable named `PAT_1` (as shown). ![](https://files.catbox.moe/0yclio.png) 11. Click deploy, and you're good to go. See your domains to use the API!
## On other platforms > **Warning** > This way of using GRS is not officially supported and was added to cater to some particular use cases where Vercel could not be used (e.g. [#2341](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/discussions/2341)). The support for this method, therefore, is limited.
:hammer_and_wrench: Step-by-step guide for deploying on other platforms 1. Fork or clone this repo as per your needs 2. Add `express` to the dependencies section of `package.json` 3. Run `npm i` if needed (initial setup) 4. Run `node express.js` to start the server, or set the entry point to `express.js` in `package.json` if you're deploying on a managed service 5. You're done 🎉
## Disable rate limit protections Github Readme Stats contains several Vercel environment variables that can be used to remove the rate limit protections: - `CACHE_SECONDS`: This environment variable takes precedence over our cache minimum and maximum values and can circumvent these values for self Hosted Vercel instances. See [the Vercel documentation](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/environment-variables) on adding these environment variables to your Vercel instance. ## Keep your fork up to date You can keep your fork, and thus your private Vercel instance up to date with the upstream using GitHub's [Sync Fork button](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/syncing-a-fork). You can also use the [pull](https://github.com/wei/pull) package created by [@wei](https://github.com/wei) to automate this process. # :sparkling_heart: Support the project I open-source almost everything I can and try to reply to everyone needing help using these projects. Obviously, this takes time. You can use this service for free. However, if you are using this project and are happy with it or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are a few ways you can do it: - Giving proper credit when you use github-readme-stats on your readme, linking back to it :D - Starring and sharing the project :rocket: - [![paypal.me/anuraghazra](https://ionicabizau.github.io/badges/paypal.svg)](https://www.paypal.me/anuraghazra) - You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a ~~coffee~~ tea. :tea: Thanks! :heart: * * * [![https://vercel.com?utm_source=github_readme_stats_team&utm_campaign=oss](./powered-by-vercel.svg)](https://vercel.com?utm_source=github_readme_stats_team&utm_campaign=oss) Contributions are welcome! <3 Made with :heart: and JavaScript.
