There are several great tools and guides out there for collecting statistics on your GitHub profile

• anuraghazra/github-readme-stats
• hoangsonww/Profile-Readme-Cards
• omsimos/github-stats
• sitepoint guide
• brunobritodev/awesome-github-stats

But none of those tools offer the freedom, customization, detail, privacy, or level of flair I would prefer.

So a while back I set about to implement an entirely new system of stats collection and showcasing.

Today I am happy to share how I am currently generating graphics like this one:

This graphic is generated in two parts:

• First there is a GitHub action that pulls the stats on a cron schedule using the GitHub SDK and a personal access token and saves the stats to a JSON file in the repo
• Second there is a remotion GitHub action that consumes that JSON file and generates various GIFs that I have designed ahead of time to showcase the stats however I want.

I have configured my repo as a template repository so anyone can easily use the template to collect stats for their own GitHub profiles.

I'm excited to see what things the community builds from here!
