count_private not working

[hi-im-gabriel]

The amount still the same with count_private off or on

I think you need to add count_private=true instead of private_count=true according to their docs.

Just misspelled. I do have count_private=true at parameters

Okay, then I had this problem too. I had to host my own instance on Vercel, since you need to give it your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) so it can securely read your private commits. You can follow the instructions here (you need to expand it), it's actually really easy and free.

Also, I had to give the PAT repo permissions in order for it to work. See this issue for more details.

Thanks a lot. It works.

I've had already gave the PAT repo permissions but it's still not working, can anyone tell me how to fix that?

Hey, @ahsanzizan! As specified in our Vercel deployment documentation (see nineth step), to show your private contributions you should enable repo and user permissions.

Also for your information, count_private querystring parameter is not longer supported. Private contributions will be automatically shown on your stats card if you deploy own instance using PAT with correct permissions.
