## đŸĻ‘ Interested to get your own? For a fully-featured experience you should use **metrics** as a [GitHub Action](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-metrics-as-svg-image), but you can also try it now at [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io/) with your GitHub username! # 📜 How to use? ## âš™ī¸ Using GitHub Action on your profile repository (~5 min setup) Setup a GitHub Action which runs periodically and pushes your generated metrics image to your repository. See all supported options in [action.yml](action.yml). Assuming your username is `my-github-user`, you can then embed rendered metrics in your readme like below: ```markdown ![Metrics](https://github.com/my-github-user/my-github-user/blob/master/github-metrics.svg) ![Metrics](https://github.com/my-github-user/my-github-user/blob/main/github-metrics.svg) ```
đŸ’Ŧ How to setup? (click to expand) ### 0. Setup your personal repository Create a repository with the same name as your GitHub login (if it's not already done). ![Setup personal repository](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_personal_repository.png) Its `README.md` will be displayed on your user profile: ![GitHub Profile Example](/.github/readme/imgs/example_github_profile.png) ### 1. Create a GitHub personal token From the `Developer settings` of your account settings, select `Personal access tokens` to create a new token. No additional scopes are needed for basic metrics, but you may have to grant additional scope depending on what features you're planning to use: - `public_repo` scope for some plugins - `read:org` scope for all organizations related metrics - `repo` scope for all private repositories related metrics ![Setup a GitHub personal token](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_personal_token.png) A scope-less token can still display private contributions by enabling `Include private contributions on my profile` in your account settings: ![Enable "Include private contributions on my profile`"](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_private_contributions.png) If a plugin has not enough scopes to operate (and `plugins_errors_fatal` isn't enabled), it'll be reported in the rendering like below: ![Plugin error example](https://github.com/lowlighter/lowlighter/blob/master/metrics.plugin.error.svg) ### 2. Put your GitHub personal token in your repository secrets Go to the `Settings` of your repository to create a new secret and paste your freshly generated GitHub token there. ![Setup a repository secret](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_repository_secret.png) ### 3. Create a GitHub Action workflow in your repository Create a new workflow from the `Actions` tab of your repository and paste the following: ```yaml name: Metrics on: # Schedule updates (each hour) schedule: [{cron: "0 * * * *"}] # Lines below let you run workflow manually and on each commit (optional) workflow_dispatch: push: {branches: ["master", "main"]} jobs: github-metrics: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: # See action.yml for all options - uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest with: # Your GitHub token token: ${{ secrets.METRICS_TOKEN }} ``` See all supported options in [action.yml](action.yml). Rendered metrics will be committed to your repository on each run. ![Action update example](/.github/readme/imgs/example_action_update.png) #### Choosing between `@latest`, `@master` or a fork If you wish to use new features as they're being released, you can switch from `@latest` to `@master`. As the latter is used as a development branch, jobs may fail from time to time (although we try to mitigate this). When using a token with additional permissions, it is advised to fork this repository and use it instead to minimize security risks: ```yaml - uses: my-github-username/metrics@master # If you make changes on your fork, be sure not leave @latest as tag! ``` In this case, please consider watching new releases to stay up-to-date and enjoy latest features! `@latest` will be updated on each release soon after [Planned for next release](https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics/projects/1#column-12378679) is emptied. Metrics doesn't introduce breaking changes **from an user point of view** (i.e. your workflows will always be valid) so you can follow release cycles without worrying. #### Examples workflows Metrics displayed on this page are rendered from this [workflow](https://github.com/lowlighter/lowlighter/blob/master/.github/workflows/metrics.yml) so you can check it out for some code examples about plugins usage. You can also take a look at this [user workflow](https://github.com/lowlighter/lowlighter/blob/master/.github/workflows/personal.yml) if you want. ### 4. Embed link into your README.md Update your README.md to embed your metrics: ```markdown ![Metrics](https://github.com/my-github-user/my-github-user/blob/master/github-metrics.svg) ![Metrics](https://github.com/my-github-user/my-github-user/blob/main/github-metrics.svg) ```
## 💕 Using the shared instance (~1 min setup, but with limitations) For convenience, you can use the shared instance available at [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) without any additional setup. ```markdown ![Metrics](https://metrics.lecoq.io/my-github-user) ``` This is mostly intended for previews, to enjoy all features consider using GitHub Action instead. Availability is not guaranteed.
đŸ’Ŧ Fair use (click to expand) To ensure service availability, shared instance has a few limitations: * Images are cached for 15 minutes * Rendered metrics **won't be updated** during this time window when queried * You can manually update rendering againg your metrics on [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io) * A rate limiter is enabled to prevent denial of service (it doesn't affect already cached metrics) * Some plugins may not be available Service is provided free of charge, so please be gentle with it 🙂
## đŸ—ī¸ Deploying your own web instance (~15 min setup, depending on your sysadmin knowledge) Setup a metrics instance on your server if you don't want to use GitHub Actions and [metrics.lecoq.io](https://metrics.lecoq.io). See all supported options in [settings.example.json](settings.example.json). Assuming your username is `my-github-user`, you can then embed rendered metrics in your readme like below: ```markdown ![Metrics](https://my-personal-domain.com/my-github-user) ```
đŸ’Ŧ How to setup? (click to expand) ### 0. Prepare your server You'll need a server with a recent version [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org) (see used version in [Dockerfile](Dockerfile#L1-L2)). ### 1. Create a GitHub personal token From the `Developer settings` of your account settings, select `Personal access tokens` to create a new token. No additional scopes are needed. ![Setup a GitHub personal token](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_personal_token.png) ### 2. Install dependencies Clone repository, install dependencies and copy configuration example to `settings.json`: ```shell git clone https://github.com/lowlighter/metrics.git cd metrics/ npm install --only=prod cp settings.example.json settings.json ``` ### 3. Configure your instance and start it Edit `settings.json` to configure your instance. ```javascript { //GitHub API token "token":"GITHUB_TOKEN", //Other options... } ``` See all supported options in [settings.example.json](settings.example.json). If you plan to make your web instance public, it is advised to restrict its access thanks to rate limiter and access list. Once you've finished configuring metrics, start your instance: ```shell npm start ``` Access your server with provided port in `setting.json` from your browser to ensure everything is working. ### 4. Embed link into your README.md Edit your repository readme and add your metrics image from your server domain: ```markdown ![Metrics](https://my-personal-domain.com/my-github-user) ``` ### 6. (optional) Setup your instance as a service To ensure that your instance will restart if it reboots or crashes, you should set it up as a service. This is described below for Linux-like systems which support *systemd*. Create a new service file `/etc/systemd/system/github_metrics.service` and paste the following after editing paths inside: ```ini [Unit] Description=Metrics After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple WorkingDirectory=/path/to/metrics ExecStart=/usr/bin/node /path/to/metrics/index.mjs [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target ``` Reload services, enable it, start it and check if it is up and running: ```shell systemctl daemon-reload systemctl enable github_metrics systemctl start github_metrics systemctl status github_metrics ```
🔗 HTTP parameters Most of options from [action.yml](action.yml) are actually supported by web instance, though syntax is slightly different. All underscores (`_`) must be replaced by dots (`.`) and `plugin_` prefixes must be dropped. For example, to configure pagespeed plugin you'd use the following: ``` https://my-personal-domain.com/my-github-user?pagespeed=1&pagespeed.detailed=1&pagespeed.url=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.com ``` Note that url parameters must be [encoded](https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Objets_globaux/encodeURIComponent). As for `base` content, which is enabled by default, sections are available through "`base.
`". For example, to display only `repositories` section, use: ``` https://my-personal-domain.com/my-github-user?base=0&base.repositories=1 ```

đŸ’Ŧ Metrics for organizations (click to expand) Setup is the same as for user accounts, though you'll need to add `read:org` scope, **whether you're member of target organization or not**. ![Add read:org scope to personal token](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_token_org_read_scope.png) You'll also need to set `user` option with your organization name. If you're encounting errors and your organization is using single sign-on, try to [authorize your personal token](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/authenticating-to-github/authorizing-a-personal-access-token-for-use-with-saml-single-sign-on). Most of plugins supported by user accounts will work with organization accounts, but note that rendering metrics for organizations consume way more APIs requests. To support private repositories, add full `repo` scope to your personal token. #### â„šī¸ Example workflow ```yaml - uses: lowlighter/metrics@latest with: # ... other options token: ${{ secrets.METRICS_TOKEN }} # A personal token from an user account with read:org scope user: organization-name # Organization name ```
đŸ’Ŧ Organizations memberships for user accounts (click to expand) Only public memberships can be displayed by metrics by default. You can manage your membership visibility in the `People` tab of your organization: ![Publish organization membership](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_public_membership_org.png) For organization memberships, add `read:org` scope to your personal token. ![Add read:org scope to personal token](/.github/readme/imgs/setup_token_org_read_scope.png)
