Private commits not showing after self-hosting GitHub Readme Stats on Vercel

[rstar327]

Hi everyone,
I’m using GitHub Readme Stats
from https://github-readme-stats-eight-theta.vercel.app/api. When I use the public instance, private commits display correctly, but pull requests to private repositories and organizations don’t show up properly.

To fix that, I deployed my own instance on Vercel. Now the PRs to private repositories display correctly, but the private commit count no longer works.

Has anyone run into this issue or found a way to make both private commits and private PRs display properly on a self-hosted deployment?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Hello @rstar327

The following URL https://github-readme-stats-eight-theta.vercel.app/api is not our official public deployment, so we are not responsible for it's behavior since we can't knew which code exactly running there. Our official public deployment URL is https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/.

Regarding the private contributions, you need to deploy own instance using your own GitHub API token with correctly configured permissions. Here is a link on our documentation about how to properly configure your personal access token of both classic and fine-grained types: https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats?tab=readme-ov-file#deploy-on-your-own

Thanks @qwerty541 for the earlier help. I deployed GitHub Readme Stats on my own Vercel instance.

On my GitHub profile README, it shows around 3.6k commits, but the actual total is over 3900. I’ve checked my settings and deployment, and everything else seems fine.

Has anyone experienced this issue or found a fix for commit counts not updating correctly after self-hosting?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

Am I understand right that after deploying own instance your total commits count on the card is increased, so generally private contributions is detected, but some small part of them is missing?

Recently there was some people with similar problem. I have found one of those issues #3850, it includes linked pull request with potential fix. You can try to deploy this branch on your own instance and check whether the commits count become more accurate.

Thanks, @qwerty541

I deployed https://github.com/AdiGaikwad/github-readme-stats on my vercel, and it works fine.

Just one more question, how can I add the entire contribution not last year?

At the moment there is no ability to show the entire contribution due to GitHub GraphQL API limitations. We have an issue for tracking this thing #2282 and opened feature request in GitHub community https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/39589. You can support the feature request with upvote and comment, so maybe it will be implemented in future, in case there will be enough interest from the community.

Regarding the branch with total commits count accuracy fix, in case you have successfully tested it and you can confirm that your commits count is correct now, I would be grateful if you could add some short notice or leave a review under the pull request. Maybe I would find a time to review it and merge into master branch in future.
