Better GitHub profiles

• FAQ
  • Is my profile static or dynamic?
  • Some of my repos are not showing up on my profile, why?
  • Does ghuser.io intend to compete with the default GitHub profiles?
  • How are the organizations sorted in the Contributed to section?

Example: https://ghuser.io/AurelienLourot

We love the default GitHub profiles and we want to enhance them:

• The GitHub profiles aren't clearly showing all the repos you have contributed to since you joined GitHub. We are showing them all, even those you don't own and those owned by organizations you're not in.¹
• The GitHub profiles are listing all the repos you own but they sort them only by age of the latest commit. We prefer to sort repos by a combination of how much you have contributed to them, their size, how popular they are, etc. For each user we want to see first the latest greatest repos they have most contributed to.
• On GitHub only repos earn stars. We push it one step further by having users earn stars: You earn stars when you contribute to a repo. We add all these earned stars and show how many you've earned in total.
• The GitHub profiles don't clearly show how big your contribution to a repo was, when you don't own it. Maybe you wrote 5%. Maybe 90%. We make it clear.
• GitHub detects programming languages. We also want to know about technologies/frameworks, e.g. "react", "docker", etc.
• The GitHub profiles allow filtering your repos by programming language. We will allow filtering by technologies/frameworks as well.
• The GitHub profiles can be tweaked by clicking around. We allow them to be tweaked programmatically.
• On GitHub only users and organizations have avatars. We bring avatars to repos.

Our enhanced profiles are accessible at https://ghuser.io/<github-username>, e.g. ghuser.io/AurelienLourot.

¹ We achieve this by using github-contribs.

This project follows the all-contributors specification. Contributions of any kind welcome!

NOTE: if you should be on the list of contributors but we forgot you, don't be shy and let us know!

For now it's static and the data² is refreshed at least once per day. If you scroll down to the bottom of your profile you can see how old the data is:

² All the data about you and your contributions.

Did you give them a star? We don't display repos with no stars at all. We think that if even you haven't given them a star, then you probably aren't proud of them (yet).

No, in fact we'd love GitHub to copy ghuser.io or to even do better, so that this project can die.

For now it's kind of random. See #142 for more details.
