GitHub Stats Card

Copy paste this into your markdown content, and that's it. Simple!

Change the ?username= value to your GitHub's username.

[![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 an array of items you wanna hide.

Options: &hide=["stars","prs","issues","contribs"]

![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:

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

Other options:

• &hide_border=true hide the border box if you don't like it :D
• &line_height=30 control the line-height between text
• &hide_rank=true hides the ranking

Customization

You can customize the appearance of your Stats Card or Repo Card however you want with URL params.

Customization Options:

Option	type	Stats Card (default)	Repo Card (default)
title_color	hex color	#2f80ed	#2f80ed
text_color	hex color	#333	#333
icon_color	hex color	#4c71f2	#586069
bg_color	hex color	rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)	rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)
show_owner	boolean	not applicable	false

• You can also customize the cards to be compatible with dark mode

GitHub Extra Pins

GitHub extra pins allow you to pin more than 6 repositories in your profile using a GitHub readme profile.

Yey! 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

[![ReadMe Card](https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats)](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)

Demo

Use show_owner variable to include the repo's owner username

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! ❤️
