Laravel GitHub Stats

Self-hosted Laravel package that serves dynamic SVG cards with your GitHub statistics. Replace unreliable third-party services (github-readme-stats, streak-stats, github-profile-trophy) with your own private service.

Features

• Stats Card — Total Stars, Commits, PRs, Issues, Followers
• Top Languages Card — Horizontal bar chart with top 8 languages
• Streak Card — Current Streak, Longest Streak, Total Contributions
• Trophies Card — Achievement badges with rank levels (S/A/B/C/D)
• 6 Built-in Themes — tokyonight, dark, radical, merko, gruvbox, onedark
• Custom Colors — Override any color via query parameters
• Aggressive Caching — Two-layer cache (4h data + 1h SVG)
• Username Locked — Service locked to a single username via .env
• Background Refresh — Scheduled command to keep cache warm
