custom-icon-badges VS github-readme-stats

To use custom icons other than brand names, you can use the project Custom Icon Badges which allows you to use GitHub's Octicons and your own icons on shields.io badges. This visual enhancement makes your profile more informative and visually pleasing.

He has github readme stats and another stats widget showing the languages used. I tried the latter for myself and it seemed to be way off.

A big shoutout to the creators of the README-Stats project for their awesome theme suite!

All that is standard , let's compound this process by adding programming language stats . There's a project on github that we can embed directly into our markdown or html , but we want more so i made a recursive function to fetch all our repositories (The github readme script only fetches the first 100 repos)

You can add a lot of Anurag Hazra‘s GitHub ReadMe Stats features:

The GitHub Readme Stats project by Anurag Hazra generates dynamic statistics about your GitHub activities. This includes your top languages, total contributions, and more. You can use these stats to showcase your skills and dedication.

I didn't figured this on my own, the first time I learned about this feature was through the github-readme-stats project, under the responsive-card-theme section, it showed examples that I've used in my profile README and I've been also using on repositories as well.

You can also add your top repositories or your favorite projects with a title, description, preview, and link. However, there is another way you can do this without README which I will explain very soon. You can add custom styling for repositories, check it out here.
