Hello there!

I created GitHub Trends for developers to discover and share code contribution insights. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, GitHub Trends has a "wrapped" feature that allows users to look back on a year of development and growth. See your repositories and languages sorted by lines of code, your activity grouped by time and day, and more!

Happy to clarify anything in the comments!

Seems cool, but to create an account we must give the following rights to your personal account:

  This application will be able to read and write all public and private repository data. This includes the following:
  
    Code
    Issues
    Pull requests
    Wikis
    Settings
    Webhooks and services
    Deploy keys
    Collaboration invites
  
  This application will be able to read and write all user data. This includes the following:
  
    Private email addresses
    Private profile information
    Followers

Isn't it a bit too much?

Thank you for your feedback. The (Code, Issues, Pull requests) permissions are required to access private contribution stats, and unfortunately GitHub does not allow read access on these resources individually nor separate from write access. I anticipate many users will not be able to grant private access and am exploring alternatives in the meantime.

You are able to get metrics on your public contributions by visiting githubtrends.io/wrapped/{user_id}

Let me know if you have any other questions.
