I built a Pokémon-style GitHub profile card generator – 18 types, real-time stats, works in READMEs

Enhance Your GitHub Profile with a Dynamic Pokémon-Inspired Card Generator

Are you looking to add a touch of creativity and personality to your GitHub profile? I’ve developed a unique tool that allows you to showcase your GitHub stats through vibrant, animated profile cards modeled after Pokémon types. This innovative solution offers a seamless way to present real-time data directly within your README, elevating your profile’s visual appeal and professionalism.

Introducing the Pokémon-Style GitHub Profile Card Generator

This versatile tool enables you to create stunning, animated profile cards that feature 18 distinctive Pokémon types. Each card dynamically displays your current GitHub statistics—including followers, repositories, stars, and activity—all embedded in a lightweight SVG format. The best part? It integrates effortlessly into your README files without relying on screenshots or external hosting services.

Key Features:

  • Customizable Pokémon Type Themes: Choose from 18 different types such as Fire, Water, Electric, and Dragon, to match your personal style or branding.
  • Real-Time Data Display: Your profile statistics update instantly, reflecting your latest GitHub activity.
  • Direct Markdown Integration: Embed your customized card in your README with a simple Markdown snippet.
  • Embedded Profile Image: Automatically included as a base64-encoded image for seamless display.

How to Incorporate Your Custom Card

Adding your personalized Pokémon-themed profile card is straightforward. Just include a line like this in your README file, replacing YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username:

markdown
![My GitHub Stats](https://animated-profile-stats.vercel.app/api/card?username=YOUR_USERNAME&type=fire)

You can toggle between different Pokémon types by changing the type parameter in the URL (e.g., water, electric, dragon).

Example Types:

  • Fire: ?type=fire
  • Water: ?type=water
  • Electric: ?type=electric
  • Dragon: ?type=dragon
