Important
We're a small team, and to prioritize, we rely on upvotes 👍. We use the Top Issues dashboard for tracking community demand (see #1935). Do not hesitate to upvote the issues and pull requests you are interested in. We will work on the most upvoted first.
Copy and paste this into your markdown, and that's it. Simple!
Change the ?username=
value to your GitHub username.

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, reviews, 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
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

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. Please note that we paused the addition of new themes to decrease maintenance efforts; all pull requests related to new themes will be closed.
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.
Use the transparent themeWe 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 Add transparent alpha channel to a themes bg_color
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 Use GitHub's theme context tag
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 Use GitHub's new media feature
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" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)" /> <source srcset="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light), (prefers-color-scheme: no-preference)" /> <img src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra&show_icons=true" /> </picture>👀 Show example
You can customize the appearance of all your cards however you wish with URL parameters.

We use caching to decrease the load on our servers (see anuraghazra#1471 (comment)). Our cards have a default cache of 6 hours (21600 seconds). Also, note that the cache is clamped to a minimum of 6 hours and a maximum of 24 hours. If you want the data on your statistics card to be updated more often you can deploy your own instance and set environment variable CACHE_SECONDS
to a value of your choosing.
You can provide multiple comma-separated values in the bg_color option to render a gradient with the following format:
&bg_color=DEG,COLOR1,COLOR2,COLOR3...COLOR10

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 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 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 created by @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). In future this behavior will be improved by releasing GitHub action or providing environment variables for user's own instances.
Copy-paste this code into your readme and change the links.
Endpoint: api/top-langs?username=anuraghazra

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 countExclude individual repositories
You can use the &exclude_repo=repo1,repo2
parameter to exclude individual repositories.
Hide individual languages
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 20 (inclusive). By default it was set to 5
for normal
& donut
and 6
for other layouts.
Compact Language Card Layout
You can use the &layout=compact
option to change the card design.
Donut Chart Language Card Layout
You can use the &layout=donut
option to change the card design.
[](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.
[](https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats)Pie Chart Language Card Layout
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
).

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 username.

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 height=200 align="center" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api?username=anuraghazra" /> </a> <a href="https://github.com/anuraghazra/convoychat"> <img height=200 align="center" src="https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs?username=anuraghazra&layout=compact&langs_count=8&card_width=320" /> </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 30
seconds to prevent high memory usage.
