Show the latest commit activity on your repo, keeping the community updated and giving users more incentive to contribute to your project with this widget.
Inspired by https://github.com/markdotto/github-buttons
This widget is hosted via GitHub Pages, meaning all you need to do is include an iframe in your html and you're good to go. There are only 3 required params at the moment: username, repo, and limit.
<iframe
src="http://namuol.github.com/jquery.githubLatestCommitsWidget/?username=USERNAME&repo=REPO&limit=LIMIT"
allowtransparency="true"
frameborder="0"
scrolling="no"
width="502px"
height="252px">
</iframe>For custom look & feel, users are encouraged to use the jquery plugin directly.
The existing themes act as a good starting point for custom theme creation.
<head>
<script src='jquery.min.js'></script>
<script src='jquery.timeago.js'></script>
<script src='jquery.githubLatestCommitsWidget.js'></script>
<link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='my_theme.css' />
</head>
<body>
<div id='latest-commits'></div>
<script src='text/javascript'>
$('#latest-commits').githubLatestCommitsWidget({
username: 'USERNAME',
repo: 'REPO',
limit: 20
})
</script>
</body>username
GitHub username that owns the repo
repo
GitHub repository to check for activity
limit
The maximum number of results to list
theme
Name of the theme to use.
'default':
'dark':
'mini':
'mini-dark':
If you've created a new theme, I'd love to add it to the official repo!
NOTE: Custom themes are not supported with the iframe technique.
-
Width and height are hardcoded. Be sure to specify the default values (500x250 or 300x250) in your iframe and overload those values in the css if you want to change them.
-
The widget currently depends on jquery and jquery.timeago.
