GitHub Profile Views Counter

Introduction

Try Ÿ HŸPE service as the more robust and feature rich solution.

GHPVС project is proof of concept. This counter designed to be an analytical instrument for you, but not for people who are visiting your profile. It could be used to see profile views dynamics as result of development activity, blogging or taking part in a conference.

It counts how many times your GitHub profile has been viewed and displays them in your profile, for free.

Usage

Cloud solution launched as 100% free experience. Help me cut server costs if you like this service.

If you want to see big numbers in your profile, deploy a standalone solution to draw any views count you want without spamming our server. Everybody knows that any counters could be faked.

A billion fake profile views doesn't make you a very popular person, it makes you a person with a billion number in the counter.

Create GitHub profile repository

GitHub magic will happen as soon as you will create a new repository named equally to your username.

Label

NOTE: Replace whitespace with + character in multi-word labels.

Base number

You can provide a base number to add to the counter. This is useful if you are migrating from another service. For example, a user with 1000 views on another service who wants to migrate to GHPVC will use the following url to ensure the 1000 views are accounted for:

FAQ

Can I see detailed statistics?

This project provides minimalistic counter only. Use Ÿ HŸPE service if you want to get detailed info about:

  • user profile views
  • user followers history
  • repository stars history
  • repository traffic for longer than 14 days

How to reset counter?

To reset counter you should login to the Ÿ HŸPE service and then you will be able to reset counter on the https://yhype.me/ghpvc page.

Why does the counter increase every time the page is reloaded?

This is counter of profile views (page hits), not a counter of unique visitors. There is no way to get the username, browser user agent or IP address of the visitor because GitHub proxies all image URLs through the GitHub Camo service. In other words, we can only increment the counter for each request from the GitHub proxy server, we don't know who initiated it.

Are you making money on it?

No. Only spending it. Become a sponsor if you want it to keep running & receive new features.
