# GitHubCard

> GitHubCard is a visual GitHub profile and repository card designer. Create a
> polished card from public GitHub data, then export it as SVG or PNG or embed
> it in a README, portfolio, website, blog, or social post.

## Product

GitHubCard combines a drag-and-drop canvas with live GitHub widgets. Profile
cards can show stats, contribution streaks, top languages, repositories,
activity, and custom text. Repository cards can show stars, forks, watchers,
languages, topics, license, contributors, star history, commit activity, and
code frequency.

Core exports and embeds:

- SVG for crisp, portable README and website embeds.
- PNG for portfolios, social previews, and platforms with limited SVG support.
- Live profile cards at `https://githubcard.com/{username}.svg`.
- Live repository cards at `https://githubcard.com/{owner}/{repo}.svg`.
- Fixed published snapshots at `https://githubcard.com/g/{id}.svg` or
  `https://githubcard.com/g/{id}.png`.

## How to use

1. Open the profile or repository card generator.
2. Enter a public GitHub username or `owner/repository`.
3. Choose widgets and arrange them on the canvas.
4. Export SVG or PNG, or publish a stable snapshot for an embed.

For Markdown, use a live card while you want data to update automatically:

```md
![GitHub profile card](https://githubcard.com/yourname.svg)
![GitHub repository card](https://githubcard.com/owner/repository.svg)
```

Use a published `/g/{id}.svg` or `/g/{id}.png` URL when an embed must remain a
stable snapshot. Published links are immutable. To create an updated snapshot,
start a new design and publish it to get a new URL.

## Data and access

GitHubCard reads public GitHub profile and repository data. Previewing default
cards does not require an account. GitHub sign-in is required to save, publish,
update, or manage custom designs. Private repositories are not rendered by the
public card routes.
