The dracula sample under output/dracula/ was a reference render for the README. Now that demo/ auto-generates every card × every theme on each push, the sample is redundant — and keeping it trackers means every behavioral tweak shows up as a diff in committed SVGs. - Delete output/dracula/*.svg. - .gitignore: collapse `output/*` + `!output/dracula/` to a plain `output/`. - demo.yml: drop `output/**` from paths-ignore (no longer part of any push). - README / docs: point readers at demo/ instead of output/dracula/.

|

`ghstats` is a single-binary CLI (and a GitHub Action wrapping it) that fetches
|
||
data for a GitHub user and writes a themed set of SVGs you can embed in your
|
||
profile README.

Every available theme rendered against the author's profile — profile details, stats, language donuts, productive-time, heatmap, streak, contributions, top repos — is browsable in the auto-generated [**demo gallery**](./demo). Regenerated on every push to `main` by [`.github/workflows/demo.yml`](./.github/workflows/demo.yml).
|
||
|
||
## In the wild
|
||
|
||
- [**tiennm99/tiennm99**](https://github.com/tiennm99/tiennm99) — author's profile README, refreshed daily via `tiennm99/ghstats@v1`. Two-per-row layout, dracula theme.
|
||
|
||
## Use as a GitHub Action (recommended)
|
||
|
||
Drop this in `.github/workflows/ghstats.yml` in your **profile repo** (the one
|
||
named after your username):
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
name: ghstats
|
||
|
||
on:
|
||
schedule:
|
||
- cron: "0 0 * * *" # daily
|
||
workflow_dispatch:
|
||
|
||
permissions:
|
||
contents: write
|
||
|
||
jobs:
|
||
cards:
|
||
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
||
steps:
|
||
- uses: actions/checkout@v5
|
||
- uses: tiennm99/ghstats@v1
|
||
with:
|
||
user: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
|
||
token: ${{ secrets.GHSTATS_TOKEN }} # classic PAT with read:user + repo
|
||
themes: dracula,github_dark,tokyonight
|
||
tz: Asia/Saigon
|
||
include_forks: "true"
|
||
include_private: "true"
|
||
commit_changes: "true"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then embed the cards in your `README.md`:
|
||
|
||
```md
|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||

|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
## How attribution works
|
||
|
||
**Repo sampling** uses a seed list built from `contributionsCollection.commitContributionsByRepository`, unioned across every active contribution year. This catches every repo you've committed in — not just your top-starred ones.
|
||
|
||
**Commit-to-language** is byte-weighted: each commit credits every language in the repo, proportional to linguist's byte share. A commit to a 60% Go / 40% Python repo adds 0.6 to Go and 0.4 to Python, regardless of which file was touched. Caveats:
|
||
|
||
- Linguist excludes prose (Markdown, AsciiDoc, reST) from byte counts, so heavily-Markdown repos skew toward whatever small code fraction linguist did detect.
|
||
- For per-file accuracy, a future `-accurate-languages` mode is planned (per-commit REST + go-enry).
|
||
|
||
**Cost per run** (current defaults, typical user):
|
||
- ~1 profile query + ~1 query per active year + ~50 commit-history pages ≈ **50-70 GraphQL calls**.
|
||
- Zero REST calls. Well under the 5000 points/hr budget.
|
||
|
||
## Themes
|
||
|
||
Run `ghstats -list-themes` for the full list (65 themes ported from
|
||
github-profile-summary-cards). Built-ins include `default`, `dark`, `dracula`,
|
||
`github`, `github_dark`, `tokyonight`, `onedark`, `nord_dark`, `nord_bright`,
|
||
`gruvbox`, `radical`, `synthwave`, `monokai`, `solarized`, `solarized_dark`,
|
||
`transparent`, and more. Preview every one against real profile data in the
|
||
[demo gallery](./demo).
|
||
|
||
## Output
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
output/
|
||
dracula/
|
||
profile-details.svg
|
||
repos-per-language.svg
|
||
most-commit-language.svg
|
||
stats.svg
|
||
productive-time.svg
|
||
productive-weekday.svg
|
||
contributions.svg
|
||
contributions-heatmap.svg
|
||
top-starred-repos.svg
|
||
streak.svg
|
||
most-commit-language-all-time.svg
|
||
productive-time-all-time.svg
|
||
productive-weekday-all-time.svg
|
||
contributions-all-time.svg
|
||
contributions-by-year.svg
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`output/` is entirely gitignored — it's regenerated on each run. For a
|
||
reference render of every card in every theme, see the CI-built
|
||
[`demo/`](./demo) gallery instead.
|
||
|
||
## Tokens & permissions
|
||
|
||
The default `${{ github.token }}` can read public user data but will not see
|
||
your private-repo commits. For accurate stats, create a **classic** personal
|
||
access token with `read:user` and `repo`, save it as a repo secret (e.g.
|
||
`GHSTATS_TOKEN`), and pass it via the `token` input. `include_private`
|
||
defaults to `true` so those commits are counted automatically once the token
|
||
has `repo` scope; pass `include_private: "false"` if you want to keep private
|
||
work out of the rendered cards even when the token can see it.
