[![Anurag's github stats](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)

Note: Ranks are calculated based on user's stats, see src/calculateRank.js

Hiding individual stats

To hide any specific stats, you can pass a query parameter ?hide= with comma separated values.

Options: &hide=stars,commits,prs,issues,contribs

Adding private contributions count to total commits count

You can add the count of all your private contributions to the total commits count by using the query parameter ?count_private=true.

Note: If you are deploying this project yourself, the private contributions will be counted by default otherwise you need to chose to share your private contribution counts.

Themes

With inbuilt themes you can customize the look of the card without doing any manual customization.

Quick Tip (Align The Repo Cards)

You usually won't be able to layout the images side by side. To do that you can use this approach:

<a href="https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats">
  <img align="left" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats" />
</a>
<a href="https://github.com/anuraghazra/convoychat">
  <img align="left" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=convoychat" />
</a>

Deploy on your own Vercel instance

Since the GitHub API only allows 5k requests per hour, it is possible that my https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api could hit the rate limiter. If you host it on your own Vercel server, then you don't have to worry about anything. Click on the deploy button to get started!

NOTE: Since #58 we should be able to handle more than 5k requests and have no issues with downtime :D

Guide on setting up Vercel 🔨

1. Go to vercel.com
2. Click on Log in
   
3. Sign in with GitHub by pressing Continue with GitHub
   
4. Sign into GitHub and allow access to all repositories, if prompted
5. Fork this repo
6. Go back to your Vercel dashboard
7. Select Import Project
   
8. Select Import Git Repository
   
9. Select root and keep everything as is, just add your environment variable named PAT_1 (as shown), which will contain a personal access token (PAT), which you can easily create here (leave everything as is, just name it something, it can be anything you want)
10. Click deploy, and you're good to go. See your domains to use the API!

💖 Support the project

I open-source almost everything I can, and I 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 happy with it or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are 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 🚀
• - You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a coffee tea. 🍵

Thanks! ❤️
