Wrong amount of stars

[shadowoff09]

Hey, my script is saying that i have 2009 stars, and i dont know from where that value comes from because i dont that many stars.

Hi @shadowoff09! There are a number of reasons this could be happening. This code counts the stars (and stats) of any repo you have contributed to, or any repo that marks you as a "contributor." You can be added to a repo as a contributor even if you haven not pushed any commits to it.

github-stats/github_stats.py

Lines 167 to 172 in ce37fed

	contributionTypes: [
	COMMIT,
	PULL_REQUEST,
	REPOSITORY,
	PULL_REQUEST_REVIEW
	]

If you only want to show owned repositories, set the environment variable EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS=true wherever this code is running (GitHub Actions or elsewhere).

github-stats/generate_images.py

Lines 118 to 122 in ce37fed

	raw_ignore_forked_repos = os.getenv("EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS")
	ignore_forked_repos = (
	not not raw_ignore_forked_repos
	and raw_ignore_forked_repos.strip().lower() != "false"
	)

Thank you for the reponse @jstrieb.

The variable EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS is set to true in the main workflow, and the stars are still the same.

As you can see here:

Same issue +1

I think you need to specify the variable in the main.yaml file

@jstrieb EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS is true in my workflow, but it still counts stars and languages from a repo I have contributed to: https://github.com/Giorgi/github-stats/blob/7660e5a6b147e252c4826ea93807eb47f6255c2d/.github/workflows/main.yml#L45
