GitHub Trends is a tool that generates embeddable SVG cards displaying live code contribution statistics from GitHub activity. It focuses on visualizing lines of code written per programming language, per repository, and over specified time periods, designed for inclusion in GitHub profile readmes.
The project provides a range of SVG card types, including language breakdown cards that show a user's top programming languages by lines of code committed, repository activity cards that rank repositories by contribution volume, and time-based contribution cards that display code written over a chosen interval. These cards can be embedded directly into profile readmes via dynamic URLs that render live data from the GitHub API.
Beyond the default card options, the project offers an API for customizing SVG cards, and supports running code statistics locally without sending an access token to any external service. The documentation covers generating and embedding these cards, as well as configuring them through the API.
