Warning Since the GitHub API only allows 5k requests per hour per user account, the public Vercel instance hosted on
https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/apicould possibly hit the rate limiter (see #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.
Copy-paste this into your markdown content, and that is it. Simple!
Change the ?username= value to your GitHub username.
[](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 using your own GitHub API 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 system. The global percentile is calculated as a weighted sum of percentiles for each statistic (number of commits, pull requests, issues, stars and followers), based on the cumulative distribution function of the exponential and the log-normal distributions. The implementation can be investigated at src/calculateRank.js. The circle around the rank shows 100 minus the global percentile.
You can pass a query parameter &hide= to hide any specific stats with comma-separated values.
Options:
&hide=stars,commits,prs,issues,contribs
You can pass a query parameter &show= to show any specific additional stats with comma-separated values.
Options:
&show=reviews,discussions_started,discussions_answered
To enable icons, you can pass &show_icons=true in the query param, like so:
With inbuilt themes, you can customize the look of the card without doing any manual customization.
Use &theme=THEME_NAME parameter like so :
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 or checkout the theme config file & you can also contribute new themes if you like :D
Since GitHub will re-upload the cards and serve them from their CDN, 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.
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:
👀 Show example
You can use the bg_color parameter to make any of the available themes transparent. This is done by setting the bg_color to a color with a transparent alpha channel (i.e. bg_color=00000000):
👀 Show example
You can use GitHub's theme context 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:
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-dark-mode-only)
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#gh-light-mode-only)👀 Show example
You can use GitHub's new media feature in HTML to specify whether to display images for light or dark themes. This is done using the HTML <picture> element in combination with the prefers-color-scheme media feature.
<picture>
<source
srcset="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true&theme=dark"

GitHub extra pins allow you to pin more than six repositories in your profile using a GitHub readme profile.
Yay! You are no longer limited to 6 pinned repositories.
Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links.
Endpoint: api/pin?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)Use show_owner query option to include the repo's owner username
The top languages card shows a GitHub user's most frequently used top language.
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 using your own GitHub API 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 languages usage only inside your own non-forked repositories, not depending from who is the author of the commits. 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 created by @rickstaa inside GitHub Community.
Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links.
Endpoint: api/top-langs?username=anuraghazra
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)We use the following algorithm to calculate the languages percentages on the language card:
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.
&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
You can use the &exclude_repo=repo1,repo2 parameter to exclude individual repositories.
You can use &hide=language1,language2 parameter to hide individual 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 10 (inclusive), and the default is 5.
You can use the &layout=compact option to change the card design.
You can use the &layout=donut option to change the card design.
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)You can use the &layout=donut-vertical option to change the card design.
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)You can use the &layout=pie option to change the card design.
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)You can use the &hide_progress=true option to hide the percentages and the progress bars (layout will be automatically set to compact).

By default, GitHub does not lay out the cards side by side. To do that, you can use this approach:
<a href="https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats">
<img align="center" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=github-readme-stats" />
</a>
<a href="https://github.com/anuraghazra/convoychat">
<img align="center" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/pin/?username=anuraghazra&repo=convoychat" />
</a>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, we should be able to handle more than 5k requests and have fewer issues with downtime 😁.
Note If you are on the Pro (i.e. paid) Vercel plan, the maxDuration value found in the 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
30seconds to prevent high memory usage.
🛠️ Step-by-step guide on setting up your own Vercel instance
- Go to vercel.com.
- Click on
Log in. - Sign in with GitHub by pressing
Continue with GitHub. - Sign in to GitHub and allow access to all repositories if prompted.
- Fork this repo.
- Go back to your Vercel dashboard.
- To import a project, click the
Add New...button and select theProjectoption. - Click the
Continue with GitHubbutton, search for the required Git Repository and import it by clicking theImportbutton. Alternatively, you can import a Third-Party Git Repository using theImport Third-Party Git Repository ->link at the bottom of the page. - Create a personal access token (PAT) here and enable the
repoanduserpermissions (this allows access to see private repo and user stats). - Add the PAT as an environment variable named
PAT_1(as shown). - Click deploy, and you're good to go. See your domains to use the API!
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). The support for this method, therefore, is limited.

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.
See the Vercel documentation on adding these environment variables to your Vercel instance.
You can keep your fork, and thus your private Vercel instance up to date with the upstream using GitHub's Sync Fork button. You can also use the pull package created by @wei to automate this process.
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 🚀
- You can make one-time donations via PayPal. I'll probably buy a
coffeetea. 🍵
Thanks! ❤️
