Quick install

Include script and style just before </body> tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://piotrl.github.com/github-profile-card/dist/gh-profile-card.min.js"></script>

Include HTML code anywhere you would like to place widget:

<div id="github-card"
     data-username="YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME">
</div>

Great! Widget will autoload. We're done here.

Download

With npm

npm install github-profile-card --save

Advanced configuration

Configure widget in HTML:

<div id="github-card"
     data-username="YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME"
     data-max-repos="3"
     data-sort-by="stars"
     data-header-text="Most starred repositories">
</div>

For special usages, it is possible to configure widget(s) in JavaScript. You have to use different template than #github-card.

var widget = new GitHubCard({
    username: 'YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME'
    template: '#github-card-demo',
    sortBy: 'stars',
    reposHeaderText: 'Most starred',
    maxRepos: 5,
    hideTopLanguages: false,
});

widget.init();

FAQ

• My language statistic is affected by libraries and dependencies

  Consider ignoring them with .gitattributes: My repository is detected as the wrong language

• How language statistic is build?

  It is sum of all characters written in language you use. One big repository in C# will be ranked higher than many small JavaScript repositories.

  It is based on 10 last updated repositories, to represent your current interests.

• How to show two or more profiles on page?

  You have to create two widgets with different ID, then initialize each manually in JS.

  e.g.

  <div id="github-card-1" data-username="user1"></div>
  <div id="github-card-2" data-username="user2"></div>
  
  <script>
      new GitHubCard({ template: '#github-card-1' }).init();
      new GitHubCard({ template: '#github-card-2' }).init();
  </script>
