🈷️ Most used languages
The languages plugin displays which programming languages you use the most across all your repositories.
With both total bytes size and percentage version
Recently used version (based on recent activity)
|
It is possible to use custom colors for languages instead of those provided by GitHub by using plugin_languages_colors option.
You can specify either an index with a color, or a language name (case insensitive) with a color.
Colors can be either in hexadecimal format or a named color.
It is also possible to use a predefined set of colors from colorsets.json
Using indepth statistics
Languages statistics are computed using the top languages provided by GitHub of each repository you contributed to. If you work a lot with other people, these numbers may be less representative of your actual work.
The plugin_languages_indepth option lets you get more accurate metrics by cloning each repository you contributed to, running github/linguist on it and then iterating over patches matching your username from git log. This method is slower than the first one.
⚠️ Although metrics does not send any code to external sources, you must understand that when using this option repositories are cloned locally temporarly on the GitHub Action runner. If you work with sensitive data or company code, it is advised to keep this option disabled. Metrics cannot be held responsible for any eventual code leaks, use at your own risk. Source code is available for auditing at analyzers.mjs
