GitHub Stats Visualizations : Transparent

Generate visualizations of GitHub user and repository statistics using GitHub Actions.

⚙️ Installation

1. Create a personal access token (not the default GitHub Actions token) using the instructions here. Personal access token must have permissions: read:user and repo. Copy the access token when it is generated – if you lose it, you will have to regenerate the token.

2. Click here to create a fork of this repository

3. If this is the README of your fork, click this link to go to the "Secrets" page. Otherwise, go to the "Settings" tab of the newly-created repository and go to the "Secrets" page (bottom left).

   

4. Create a new secret with the name ACCESS_TOKEN and paste the copied personal access token as the value.

   

5. If you want to ignore certain repos, add them (separated by commas) to a new secret—created as before—called EXCLUDED.

   

6. If you want to ignore certain languages, add them (separated by commas) to a new secret called EXCLUDED_LANGS.

7. By default the languages, stars, forks and repository views do not consider stats from public repositories that you have forked and contributed to. But if you want to count stats from forked repositories also you can do so by creating a new secret called COUNT_STATS_FROM_FORKS. For the value you can put any random value because the action only checks if the secret is set or not.

   

8. Go to the Actions Page and press "Run Workflow" on the right side of the screen to generate images for the first time. The images will be periodically generated every hour, but they can be manually regenerated by manually running the workflow.

9. Check out the images that have been created in the generated folder in output branch.
