Contributing to github-readme-stats

We love your input! We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible, whether it's:

All Changes Happen Through Pull Requests

Pull requests are the best way to propose changes. We actively welcome your pull requests:

  1. Fork the repo and create your branch from master.
  2. If you've added code that should be tested, add some tests' examples.
  3. If you've changed APIs, update the documentation.
  4. Issue that pull request!

Under the hood of github-readme-stats

Bohdan wrote a fantastic in-depth post about it, check it out:

Under the hood of github-readme-stats project

Local Development

To run & test github-readme-stats, you need to follow a few simple steps:- (make sure you already have a Vercel account)

  1. Install Vercel CLI.
  2. Fork the repository and clone the code to your local machine.
  3. Run npm install in the repository root.
  4. Run the command vercel in the root and follow the steps there.
  5. Run the command vercel dev to start a development server at http://localhost:3000.
  6. The cards will then be available from this local endpoint (i.e. http://localhost:3000/api?username=anuraghazra).

Note

You can debug the package code in Vscode by using the Node.js: Attach to process debug option. You can also debug any tests using the VSCode Jest extension. For more information, see jest-community/vscode-jest#912.

Themes Contribution

We're currently paused addition of new themes to decrease maintenance efforts. All pull requests related to new themes will be closed.

Note

If you are considering contributing your theme just because you are using it personally, then instead of adding it to our theme collection, you can use card customization options.

Translations Contribution

GitHub Readme Stats supports multiple languages, if we are missing your language, you can contribute it! You can check the currently supported languages here.

To contribute your language you need to edit the src/translations.js file and add new property to each object where the key is the language code in ISO 639-1 standard and the value is the translated string.

Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License

In short, when you submit changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.

Report issues/bugs using GitHub's issues

We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue; it's that easy!

Q: How to count private stats?

Ans: We can only count public commits & we cannot access any other private info of any users, so it's not possible. The only way to count your personal private stats is to deploy on your own instance & use your own PAT (Personal Access Token)
