github-polyglot

Linguist, but for the user instead of the repository.

This scans all of the repositories that the user has and compiles the language stats. The stats can be output as...

• A human-readable terminal output
• JSON
• An SVG file resembling the language bar

This action runs the github-polyglot gem in a Docker container.

Optional. GitHub API token to avoid rate limits when scanning repository language details.

Optional. The user to collect data for. Defaults to the owner of the repository that is running the action.

Optional. The format of the output. Defaults to print (a display format for terminal display).

The output of the github-polyglot gem.

steps:
- uses: spenserblack/github-polyglot@main
  id: github-polyglot
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.PAT }}
    format: svg
- name: Create language stats image
  env:
    SVG: ${{ steps.github-polyglot.outputs.output }}
  run: echo "$SVG" > language-stats.svg
  # Commit the SVG with your favorite commands or actions

If the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is set, it can use that token to get more accurate stats and avoid rate-limiting. You can also avoid needing to pass --username if you have the token set.

This project depends on Linguist, which has some dependencies that may require extra steps. Read their documentation for more details.
