GitHub Readme Stats is an open-source tool that generates dynamic, visually customizable SVG cards showcasing GitHub metrics such as stars, commits, languages, and contributions, which can be embedded into profile README files. With inbuilt themes, you can customize the look of the card without doing any manual customization. You can specify a year and fetch only the commits that were made in that year by passing &commits_year=YYYY to the parameter. 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.
