waka-readme-stats is a GitHub Action that displays developer metrics and coding statistics in your GitHub profile README.
The tool solves the problem of showcasing your coding activity and productivity patterns by pulling data from WakaTime and GitHub. It works by connecting to your WakaTime account via API to retrieve coding metrics, optionally combining this with GitHub commit data, and automatically updating designated sections of your README file on a schedule you define. The action inserts statistics about languages you code in, your most productive hours, and commit activity directly into your profile README through comment markers you add to the file.
You should adopt this tool if you want to display coding activity metrics on your GitHub profile in an automated way. It suits developers who use WakaTime to track their coding time and want those insights visible to visitors of their profile. The tool requires setting up WakaTime API credentials and optionally GitHub API tokens, which you store as repository secrets. If you want commit metrics included, you need to grant the GitHub token repo scope access, which the README notes only allows the action to read commit timestamps and line change counts from repositories you contributed to.
Issue tracker activity is dominated by bug reports, brainstorming discussions, and naming-related issues. The project maintains documentation in multiple languages and actively seeks translator contributions.
