Live GitHub data is fetched through this app's server, which needs a free SkillSafe account. It costs nothing and never touches your GitHub account. The examples above work without signing in.
Everything at once
Markdown for every card above, assuming you commit the SVG files to the folder you set. The table works anywhere images do not.
Details
Put a card in your README
- Look up your account or repository and pick a style. Cartoon cards star Pip, a little sprout whose face, prop, badge and title come from your stats. Auto styles switch between light and dark with each reader's setting.
- Download the card as SVG and commit it to your repository, for example under
.github/stats/. - Copy the Markdown under the card into your README. Refresh and re-commit whenever you want new numbers.
Or press Get live embed under a card (free sign-in) for a link that redraws itself from GitHub. READMEs show the new numbers about every 6 hours.
Downloaded cards are files you own and keep working whatever happens to this site. Live cards are served from it.
Questions
Where do the numbers come from?
From GitHub's public REST API, fetched by this app's server for one account or repository at a time. Only public data is read. The app never asks for access to your GitHub account.
Why do I need to sign in?
GitHub limits how often a server may ask for data. Signing in keeps the shared server from being drained by bots. It is free and uses no credits, and your lookups are saved to your account so you can reopen them on any device.
What is the bus factor?
The fewest contributors who together made at least half of the commits GitHub lists for the repository, not counting bots. A bus factor of 1 means one person wrote half or more of the history.
Why is "recent activity" short for some accounts?
GitHub's public event feed holds at most the last 90 days and 100 events used here, so very active accounts show a shorter window. The card prints the exact dates it covers.
How often does a live card update?
The server draws it again from GitHub at most every 6 hours, and GitHub's image cache keeps a copy for about as long. If GitHub is down, the last good copy is shown. The card prints when it was drawn.
How fresh is the data?
A lookup is saved for 6 hours; within that time the saved copy is shown and the date says so. Press Refresh to fetch it again.
