Jekyll Github Chart

This Jekyll plugin provides a tag that takes a Github user and returns either an image or a raw SVG of the contribution graph.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem 'jekyll_github_chart'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll_github_chart

Finally, call the plugin in your _config.yml file.

plugins:
  - jekyll-github-chart

You can call the tag with a the defaults like this.

{% github_chart username %}

This will generate an HTML img tag with an SVG encoded as a data URI. For example:

<img src='data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,...' class='github-contributions' alt='username Github contributions' />

There are 3 color schemes available: default, old, and halloween.

{% github_chart username halloween %}

Finally, if you don't want an img tag, you can pass a format argument to have a raw SVG output.

{% github_chart username halloween raw %}

Here's an example using the default parameters.
