Action Summary

The GitHub Action generates star history charts and contributor walls from GitHub’s API without using third-party rendering services, providing customizable themes and offline SVGs with embedded avatar images. It supports multiple chart types (area, line, glow) and various themes, including classic and gradient styles, with a focus on determinism and offline capabilities for local rendering.

What’s Changed

Backward-compatible feature release. Output filenames and existing chart-style values are unchanged, so workflows pinned to v1 pick up the new look automatically on their next run.

Highlights

  • 9 chart themes (was 3): classic, minimal, gradient, midnight, sunset, ocean, forest, flame, mono.
  • Chart variants — area, line, glow selectable per theme with the new chart-variant input (9 × 3 combinations).
  • Redesigned chart — dashboard-style header with the current star total, smooth monotone-cubic trend line, dashed gridlines, hairline card border, and a footer showing the tracked date range. The old endpoint label that collided with the top axis is gone.
  • Contributor wall styling — configurable columns, avatar size, spacing, outer padding, and avatar shape (circle, squircle, square), plus top-three leaderboard highlighting and a “led by” header.
  • Color and title overrides — background-color(-dark), accent-color(-dark), chart-title, contributors-title. All color inputs are hex-validated.

New inputs

chart-variant, chart-title, smooth, background-color, background-color-dark, accent-color, accent-color-dark, contributors-title, contributors-columns, avatar-size, avatar-gap, avatar-shape, padding.

See the README for the full theme gallery and inputs table.
