# Important Notices
> [!IMPORTANT]\
> Since the GitHub API only [allows 5k requests per hour per user account](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/overview/resource-limitations), the public Vercel instance hosted on `https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api` could possibly hit the rate limiter (see [#1471](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1471)). We use caching to prevent this from happening (see https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#common-options). You can turn off these rate limit protections by deploying [your own Vercel instance](#disable-rate-limit-protections).
> [!IMPORTANT]\
> We're a small team, and to prioritize, we rely on upvotes :+1:. We use the Top Issues dashboard for tracking community demand (see [#1935](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1935)). Do not hesitate to upvote the issues and pull requests you are interested in. We will work on the most upvoted first.
# GitHub Stats Card
Copy and paste this into your markdown, and that's it. Simple!
Change the `?username=` value to your GitHub username.
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
> [!WARNING]\
> By default, the stats card only shows statistics like stars, commits, and pull requests from public repositories. To show private statistics on the stats card, you should [deploy your own instance](#deploy-on-your-own) using your own GitHub API token (i.e. “personal access token”).
> [!NOTE]\
> Available ranks are S (top 1%), A+ (12.5%), A (25%), A- (37.5%), B+ (50%), B (62.5%), B- (75%), C+ (87.5%) and C (everyone). This ranking scheme is based on the [Japanese academic grading](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Academic_grading_in_Japan) system. The global percentile is calculated as a weighted sum of percentiles for each statistic (number of commits, pull requests, reviews, issues, stars, and followers), based on the cumulative distribution function of the [exponential](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/exponential_distribution) and the [log-normal](https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-normal_distribution) distributions. The implementation can be investigated at [src/calculateRank.js](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/blob/master/src/calculateRank.js). The circle around the rank shows 100 minus the global percentile.
### Hiding individual stats
You can pass a query parameter `&hide=` to hide any specific stats with comma-separated values.
> Options: `&hide=stars,commits,prs,issues,contribs`
```md
```
### Showing additional individual stats
You can pass a query parameter `&show=` to show any specific additional stats with comma-separated values.
> Options: `&show=reviews,discussions_started,discussions_answered,prs_merged,prs_merged_percentage`
```md
```
### Showing icons
To enable icons, you can pass `&show_icons=true` in the query param, like so:
```md
```
### Themes
With inbuilt themes, you can customize the look of the card without doing any [manual customization](#customization).
Use `&theme=THEME_NAME` parameter like so :
```md
```
#### All inbuilt themes
GitHub Readme Stats comes with several built-in themes (e.g. `dark`, `radical`, `merko`, `gruvbox`, `tokyonight`, `onedark`, `cobalt`, `synthwave`, `highcontrast`, `dracula`).
You can look at a preview for [all available themes](themes/README.md) or checkout the [theme config file](themes/index.js). Please note that we paused the addition of new themes to decrease maintenance efforts; all pull requests related to new themes will be closed.
#### Responsive Card Theme
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#responsive-card-theme#gh-dark-mode-only)
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#responsive-card-theme#gh-light-mode-only)
Since GitHub will re-upload the cards and serve them from their [CDN](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/about-anonymized-urls), we can not infer the browser/GitHub theme on the server side. There are, however, four methods you can use to create dynamics themes on the client side.
##### Use the transparent theme
We have included a `transparent` theme that has a transparent background. This theme is optimized to look good on GitHub's dark and light default themes. You can enable this theme using the `&theme=transparent` parameter like so:
```md
```
:eyes: Show example
##### Add transparent alpha channel to a themes bg\_color
You can use the `bg_color` parameter to make any of [the available themes](themes/README.md) transparent. This is done by setting the `bg_color` to a color with a transparent alpha channel (i.e. `bg_color=00000000`):
```md
```
:eyes: Show example
##### Use GitHub's theme context tag
You can use [GitHub's theme context](https://github.blog/changelog/2021-11-24-specify-theme-context-for-images-in-markdown/) tags to switch the theme based on the user GitHub theme automatically. This is done by appending `#gh-dark-mode-only` or `#gh-light-mode-only` to the end of an image URL. This tag will define whether the image specified in the markdown is only shown to viewers using a light or a dark GitHub theme:
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-dark-mode-only)
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-light-mode-only)
```
:eyes: Show example
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-dark-mode-only)
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-light-mode-only)
##### Use GitHub's new media feature
You can use [GitHub's new media feature](https://github.blog/changelog/2022-05-19-specify-theme-context-for-images-in-markdown-beta/) in HTML to specify whether to display images for light or dark themes. This is done using the HTML `` element in combination with the `prefers-color-scheme` media feature.
```html
```
:eyes: Show example

# GitHub Extra Pins
GitHub extra pins allow you to pin more than 6 repositories in your profile using a GitHub readme profile.
Yay! 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`
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Demo
Use [show\_owner](#repo-card-exclusive-options) query option to include the repo's owner username
# GitHub Gist Pins
GitHub gist pins allow you to pin gists in your GitHub profile using a GitHub readme profile.
### Usage
Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links.
Endpoint: `api/gist?id=bbfce31e0217a3689c8d961a356cb10d`
```md
[](https://gist.github.com/Yizack/bbfce31e0217a3689c8d961a356cb10d/)
```
### Demo
Use [show\_owner](#gist-card-exclusive-options) query option to include the gist's owner username
# Top Languages Card
The top languages card shows a GitHub user's most frequently used languages.
> [!WARNING]\
> By default, the language card shows language results only from public repositories. To include languages used in private repositories, you should [deploy your own instance](#deploy-on-your-own) using your own GitHub API token (i.e. “personal access token”).
> [!NOTE]\
> Top Languages does not indicate the user's skill level or anything like that; it's a GitHub metric to determine which languages have the most code on GitHub. It is a new feature of github-readme-stats.
> [!WARNING]\
> This card shows language usage only inside your own non-forked repositories, not depending on who the author of the commits is. It does not include your contributions into another users/organizations repositories. Currently there are no way to get this data from GitHub API. If you want this behavior to be improved you can support [this feature request](https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/18230) created by [@rickstaa](https://github.com/rickstaa) inside GitHub Community.
> [!WARNING]\
> Currently this card shows data only about first 100 repositories. This is because GitHub API limitations which cause downtimes of public instances (see [#1471](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1471)). In future this behavior will be improved by releasing GitHub action or providing environment variables for user's own instances.
### Usage
Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links.
Endpoint: `api/top-langs?username=anuraghazra`
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Language stats algorithm
We use the following algorithm to calculate the languages percentages on the language card:
```js
ranking_index = (byte_count ^ size_weight) * (repo_count ^ count_weight)
```
By default, only the byte count is used for determining the languages percentages shown on the language card (i.e. `size_weight=1` and `count_weight=0`). You can, however, use the `&size_weight=` and `&count_weight=` options to weight the language usage calculation. The values must be positive real numbers. [More details about the algorithm can be found here](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/issues/1600#issuecomment-1046056305).
* `&size_weight=1&count_weight=0` - *(default)* Orders by byte count.
* `&size_weight=0.5&count_weight=0.5` - *(recommended)* Uses both byte and repo count for ranking
* `&size_weight=0&count_weight=1` - Orders by repo count
```md
```
### Exclude individual repositories
You can use the `&exclude_repo=repo1,repo2` parameter to exclude individual repositories.
```md
```
### Hide individual languages
You can use `&hide=language1,language2` parameter to hide individual languages.
```md
```
### Show more languages
You can use the `&langs_count=` option to increase or decrease the number of languages shown on the card. Valid values are integers between 1 and 20 (inclusive). By default it was set to `5` for `normal` & `donut` and `6` for other layouts.
```md
```
### Compact Language Card Layout
You can use the `&layout=compact` option to change the card design.
```md
```
### Donut Chart Language Card Layout
You can use the `&layout=donut` option to change the card design.
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Donut Vertical Chart Language Card Layout
You can use the `&layout=donut-vertical` option to change the card design.
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Pie Chart Language Card Layout
You can use the `&layout=pie` option to change the card design.
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Hide Progress Bars
You can use the `&hide_progress=true` option to hide the percentages and the progress bars (layout will be automatically set to `compact`).
```md
```
### Demo
* Compact layout
* Donut Chart layout

# WakaTime Stats Card
> [!WARNING]\
> Please be aware that we currently only show data from WakaTime profiles that are public. You therefore have to make sure that **BOTH** `Display code time publicly` and `Display languages, editors, os, categories publicly` are enabled.
Change the `?username=` value to your [WakaTime](https://wakatime.com) username.
```md
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
```
### Demo
* Compact layout

# Deploy on your own
## On Vercel
### :film\_projector: [Check Out Step By Step Video Tutorial By @codeSTACKr](https://youtu.be/n6d4KHSKqGk?t=107)
Since the GitHub API only allows 5k requests per hour, my `https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api` could possibly hit the rate limiter. If you host it on your own Vercel server, then you do not have to worry about anything. Click on the deploy button to get started!
> [!NOTE]\
> Since [#58](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/pull/58), we should be able to handle more than 5k requests and have fewer issues with downtime :grin:.
> [!NOTE]\
> If you are on the [Pro (i.e. paid)](https://vercel.com/pricing) Vercel plan, the [maxDuration](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/project-configuration#value-definition) value found in the [vercel.json](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/blob/master/vercel.json) can be increased when your Vercel instance frequently times out during the card request. You are advised to keep this value lower than `30` seconds to prevent high memory usage.
[](https://vercel.com/import/project?template=https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)
:hammer_and_wrench: Step-by-step guide on setting up your own Vercel instance
1. Go to [vercel.com](https://vercel.com/).
2. Click on `Log in`.
3. Sign in with GitHub by pressing `Continue with GitHub`.
4. Sign in to GitHub and allow access to all repositories if prompted.
5. Fork this repo.
6. Go back to your [Vercel dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard).
7. To import a project, click the `Add New...` button and select the `Project` option.
8. Click the `Continue with GitHub` button, search for the required Git Repository and import it by clicking the `Import` button. Alternatively, you can import a Third-Party Git Repository using the `Import Third-Party Git Repository ->` link at the bottom of the page.
9. Create a personal access token (PAT) [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and enable the `repo` and `user` permissions (this allows access to see private repo and user stats).
10. Add the PAT as an environment variable named `PAT_1` (as shown).
11. Click deploy, and you're good to go. See your domains to use the API!
## On other platforms
> [!WARNING]\
> This way of using GRS is not officially supported and was added to cater to some particular use cases where Vercel could not be used (e.g. [#2341](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats/discussions/2341)). The support for this method, therefore, is limited.
:hammer_and_wrench: Step-by-step guide for deploying on other platforms
1. Fork or clone this repo as per your needs
2. Add `express` to the dependencies section of `package.json`
3. Run `npm i` if needed (initial setup)
4. Run `node express.js` to start the server, or set the entry point to `express.js` in `package.json` if you're deploying on a managed service
5. You're done 🎉
## Disable rate limit protections
Github Readme Stats contains several Vercel environment variables that can be used to remove the rate limit protections:
* `CACHE_SECONDS`: This environment variable takes precedence over our cache minimum and maximum values and can circumvent these values for self-hosted Vercel instances.

## Keep your fork up to date
You can keep your fork, and thus your private Vercel instance up to date with the upstream using GitHub's [Sync Fork button](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/syncing-a-fork). You can also use the [pull](https://github.com/wei/pull) package created by [@wei](https://github.com/wei) to automate this process.
# :sparkling\_heart: Support the project
I open-source almost everything I can and 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 are happy with it or just want to encourage me to continue creating stuff, there are a 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. :rocket:
* [](https://www.paypal.me/anuraghazra) - You can make a one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a ~~coffee~~ tea. :tea:
Thanks! :heart:
