Stats for your README.md

Setup

1. Get a GitHub Personal Access Token

1. Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic)
2. Click Generate new token (classic)
3. Give it a descriptive name (e.g. github-stats)
4. Select the following scope:
   • read:user — read access to your public profile data
5. Click Generate token and copy the value immediately (it won't be shown again)

2. Set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable

Locally: create a .env file at the project root:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token_here

On Vercel: add it as an environment variable in your project's dashboard (see Deploy to Vercel below).

Running locally

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+, Vercel CLI (npm i -g vercel)

# Install dependencies
npm install
# Start the local development server (serves /api routes via Vercel CLI)
vercel dev

The API will be available at http://localhost:3000.

Deploy to Vercel

1. Fork or clone this repository
2. Import the project in the Vercel dashboard
3. In Project Settings → Environment Variables, add:
   • GITHUB_TOKEN = your personal access token from the step above
4. Click Deploy

That's it — Vercel will detect the /api directory and deploy each file as a serverless function automatically.
