What’s Changed

First release.

An unofficial GitHub Action that renders a star history chart for your own repositories and commits it into your repo, so your README embeds a static SVG that stays fresh. It is meant for repos you own or collaborate on, and works after GitHub’s June 2026 stargazers API restriction.

Highlights:

  • Renders with star-history’s own chart code (vendored, MIT, credited). No headless browser, no third-party CLI.
  • Light and dark SVGs, embedded via a <picture> block between README markers.
  • Commits only when the chart actually changes (data-signature detection).
  • Timestamped filenames bust GitHub’s image cache; old files are cleaned up.
  • Logos inlined as base64 so GitHub renders them; embedded font stripped to keep files small.

Usage: uses: narayann7/star-history-action@v1. See the README for the workflow and README markers.
