GitHub Profile Views Counter

It counts how many times your profile has been viewed.

Usage

Create your GitHub Profile repository. GitHub magic will happen as soon as you will create a new repository named equally to your username.

My profile repository: https://github.com/antonkomarev/antonkomarev

Cloud application

You need to add counter in README.md file in your profile repository via Markdown syntax:

![](https://komarev.com/ghpvc/?username=your-github-username)

Don't forget to replace example username with your own

This service launched as experiment. It is completely free. You can help me cut server costs if you like this service. I don't track any personal information since GitHub proxies all images.

Self-hosted application

Only public/index.php should be exposed.

You need to host this app on your server and display it via Markdown syntax:

![](https://your.application.path/?username=your-github-username)

This URL will render SVG image with profile views counter and will increment it on each view of your profile.

Self-hosted application customization

By default, this application using file repository, visits log stored in storage/{$username}-views and counter stored in storage/{$username}-views-count file.

You can switch to database repository, then you will have to copy .env.example file to .env and fill in database configuration.
