Need Top Languages card to include stats for private repos

[sarveshh]

Right Now, a lot of my repositories are private and indulged in languages that are different from those which are public.
I would like if the Top Languages card would show those languages too. It's especially annoying when you are working on private repositories and they aren't acknowledged in profile readme.

One solution for that would be via query params like we have in GitHub Stats card where stats from private repositories are also included via a param called &count-private=true

You can deploy your own instance: https://github.com/anuraghazra/github-readme-stats#deploy-on-your-own-vercel-instance
When creating an Access Token, give it "repo" and "workflow" permission, this will allow your own instance to read your private repos.

Updated 2021-01-30: It only needs "repo" permission. "workflow" is unnecessary.

I followed @jinliming2 advice and the guide in the README and it works perfectly! Thanks!

@daczarne I tried to do this but it doesn't show my private repos still? I followed the instructions and gave it an access token with the repo scope.

Edit: I followed the video in the readme for deploying vercel and using those instructions I got it to work.

I followed the video tutorial and everything was going smoothly, but when I tried to deploy it, it told me that the maxDuration can only be 1 to 10 seconds unless I upgrade my plan. Does this solution not work anymore due to paywalls, or am I doing something wrong?

[jinliming2]

@Keelan-Matthews follow the "Guide on setting up Vercel", step 6, you need to edit vercel.json in your own fork, change the maxDuration field to 10, or you need to pay for the Vercel plan.

I added &count-private=true to the URL and it worked

@rebeccatuffnell thanks for your answer count_private works for including private commits. For including results from private repositories in the language card you should deploy your own Vercel instance.

@Keelan-Matthews, @jinliming2 is correct for the Public Vercel instance we need a higher maxDuration. For private Vercel instances, you should use a maxDuration value of 10.

Mine doesn't work yet. I followed the video. Used the forked repo to deploy the project, saved the access token as an environment variable and even added the &&count-private=true as well. It still only shows the stats of my public repos.

@ElzabeEls Please make sure that the PAT has the right permissions (see step 9 of the deployment guide):

9. Create a personal access token (PAT) here and enable the repo and user permissions (this allows access to see private repo and user stats).

After you give your Classical PAT these permissions, the stats should appear 🤔. The count_private variable was deprecated and is no longer needed (see #2736).
