Split each contribution year into quarterly windows. commitContributionsByRepository caps at 100 repos per query and drops the remainder without signalling it, which a prolific year hits: 2026 returned exactly 100 where the quarterly union returns 108. Warn when a window still comes back at the ceiling instead of reporting a complete list. Add -include-org-repos / include_org_repos so org-owned repos the user administers count toward stars, repo count, repos-per-language and top-starred. Off by default, since enabling it moves those totals for every existing caller. Commit-driven cards already covered org repos through the seed list. Org repos carrying only read or write access are dropped via viewerPermission. Rename Profile.PublicRepos to RepoCount and drop "public" from the card label: the count tracks the fetch filters and includes private repos whenever the token can see them.

ghstats
Generate SVG cards summarizing a GitHub user's profile — written in Go.
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.

Preview — dracula theme
Live render against the author's profile, committed by .github/workflows/demo.yml on every push to main. Rendered with start_of_week: monday so the heatmap rows and weekday bars start on Mon, and include_org_repos on so repos under the author's orgs count toward the repo and language totals. Other 64 themes in the demo gallery.

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. Each year is queried a quarter at a time: the API caps that field at 100 repos per query and drops the rest without saying so, which a prolific year hits easily.
Which repos count where. The commit-driven cards (most-commit-language, productive time, productive weekday, and everything derived from the contribution calendar) cover repos in any namespace you committed to — your own, your orgs', and upstream repos you sent PRs to. The repo-driven cards (stars, repo count, repos-per-language, top-starred) look only at repos you own. Set include_org_repos / -include-org-repos to also count org-owned repos where your permission is ADMIN; org repos you merely have read or write access to are never counted.
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-languagesmode is planned (per-commit REST + go-enry).
Cost per run (current defaults, typical user):
- ~1 profile query + ~4 queries per active year + ~50 commit-history pages ≈ 80-100 GraphQL calls.
- Zero REST calls. Well under the 5000 points/hr budget.

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.
Enabling include_org_repos additionally needs read:org on the token, and
SSO authorization for any org that enforces it — otherwise those repos stay
invisible and the input silently changes nothing.
