Frequently Asked Questions
How can I display my devActivity achievements on my GitHub profile?
Go to 'Your Profile' > 'Embeddables' on devActivity.com. In the 'ACHIEVEMENTS WIDGET' section, set your preferred 'Max Limit', then click 'Preview / Copy Code'. Paste the generated Markdown into your GitHub profile README file.
Where can I get a widget to show my individual repository statistics?
You'll find the 'REPO STATS (LAST 45 DAYS) WIDGET' under 'Your Profile' > 'Embeddables'. Configure the 'Period to Consider' and 'Text Color' as desired, then click 'Preview / Copy Code' to get the Markdown for embedding.
How do I customize the appearance and content of my embeddable devActivity widgets?
For the Achievements Widget, you can control the number of badges displayed using the 'Max Limit' dropdown. For the Repo Stats Widget, you can select the 'Period to Consider' (e.g., '45 Days') and choose a 'Text Color' (e.g., 'Blue') via their respective dropdowns.
What kind of personal development statistics can I embed from devActivity.com?
You can embed two main types: a list of your personal devActivity achievements (e.g., 'Cycle Slashers', 'Comments Guru') and individual repository statistics showing metrics like contributors, issues, pull requests, reviews, and comments for your work over a chosen period.
Can I embed widgets on platforms other than GitHub?
Yes, the generated widgets use standard Markdown code, which can be embedded into any platform that supports Markdown rendering. This includes GitHub Pages, personal websites, blogs, or other custom profiles.
Are the embeddable statistics for my individual contributions or my team's?
The 'Embeddables' feature is specifically designed to showcase your personal contributions and achievements. The statistics displayed are exclusively for you as an individual contributor, not for aggregated team or organizational data.
How often do the embedded widgets update?
devActivity widgets typically update in near real-time, reflecting your latest achievements and repository activity as soon as they are processed by the platform. This ensures your embedded data is always current.
What if my widget isn't displaying correctly?
First, ensure you've copied the complete Markdown code. Check if the platform you're embedding on fully supports Markdown rendering. If issues persist, verify your settings on devActivity's 'Embeddables' page and contact support if needed.
Can I control how many achievements are shown?
Yes, for the Achievements Widget, there is a 'Max Limit' dropdown that allows you to specify the maximum number of achievement badges you want to display in the widget.
What period do the repository statistics cover?
For the Repo Stats Widget, you can select the 'Period to Consider' using a dropdown. Options typically include periods like '45 Days', allowing you to focus on your recent activity.
