Themes Contribution
We have stopped the addition of new themes to decrease maintenance efforts. If you are considering contributing your theme just because you are using it personally, then instead of adding it to our theme collection, you can use card customization options.
Translations Contribution
GitHub-Stats-Extended supports multiple languages. If we are missing your language, you can contribute it! You can check the currently supported languages here.
To contribute your language you need to edit the backend/src/translations.js file and add a new property to each object where the key is the language code in ISO 639-1 standard and the value is the translated string.
Any contributions you make will be under the MIT Software License
In short, when you submit changes, your submissions are understood to be under the same MIT License that covers the project. Feel free to contact the maintainers if that's a concern.
Report issues/bugs using GitHub's issues
We use GitHub issues to track public bugs. Report a bug by opening a new issue. If there is already an open issue for your bug in the upstream repo github-readme-stats you don't need to report it here.
