Version updated for https://github.com/narayann7/star-history-action to version v1.0.4. This action is used across all versions by 8 repositories. Action Type This is a Composite action. Go to the GitHub Marketplace to find the latest changes. Action Summary The Star History Action automates the process of displaying a self-updating star history chart in your own repository’s README. It solves the problem of rendering star-history.com badges on restricted endpoints and provides an alternative method using GitHub Actions and Node.js to render charts based on your own access token. The action runs in your CI, commits the rendered chart into your repo, and updates the README with a static image, ensuring that it only refreshes when there are actual changes to the stargazers data.

Version updated for https://github.com/narayann7/star-history-action to version v1.0.2. This action is used across all versions by 4 repositories. Action Type This is a Composite action. Go to the GitHub Marketplace to find the latest changes. What’s Changed Added font-family input. Set it to any Google Fonts family (for example Patrick Hand) and the renderer downloads that font at run time and applies it to the PNG chart. It reads the font’s real internal name so it matches even when that differs from the family string, and non-Latin families such as Noto Sans SC work. Empty input keeps the bundled Comic Neue with no network call, and any download failure falls back to Comic Neue without failing the run. This affects the PNG only, since GitHub strips @font-face from README-embedded SVGs. Optional watch: types: [started] trigger, documented alongside the cron schedule and workflow_dispatch, so a chart can refresh right after a new star. It supplements the schedule rather than replacing it: watch fires on new stars only, never on unstars, and does not refresh the time axis on quiet days. Compatibility The change-detection signature now includes the requested font, so changing only font-family invalidates the cache and re-renders. As a side effect the signature format changed, so the first run after upgrading regenerates the chart once even when the star count is unchanged.

Version updated for https://github.com/narayann7/star-history-action to version v1.0.1. This action is used across all versions by 4 repositories. Action Type This is a Composite action. Go to the GitHub Marketplace to find the latest changes. What’s Changed Makes the star history chart render on GitHub and on package registries (npm, pub.dev), and stops external image URLs from 404ing. Added PNG output. The renderer rasterizes a star-history.png alongside the SVGs, so the chart shows on registries that cannot render SVG (npm, pub.dev). readme-format input (picture or png). picture keeps the SVG <picture> block with GitHub dark/light support; png writes a plain-markdown image at an absolute raw.githubusercontent.com URL, the only form that renders on npm and pub.dev. Changed Stable filenames. Charts are written to fixed paths (star-history-<theme>.svg, star-history.png) and overwritten in place instead of timestamped names. A frozen README URL on a registry no longer 404s when a new chart is generated. This action’s own repository now demos with a static placeholder and no longer commits its live chart into git. Fixed PNG rasterization stripped the decorative feTurbulence/feDisplacementMap sketch filter, which crashed the raster engine (resvg). The SVG output keeps the filter; only the PNG drops it. Compatibility Repositories upgrading from 1.0.0 keep their old timestamped files, so any already published registry README that points at the old URL still resolves. The action stops producing timestamped names but does not delete existing ones. On the first run after upgrade, the chart is regenerated even when the star count is unchanged, so the new stable files and the PNG are created once.

Version updated for https://github.com/narayann7/star-history-action to version v1.0.0. This action is used across all versions by ? repositories. Action Type This is a Composite action. Go to the GitHub Marketplace to find the latest changes. 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.
