# Dev Metrics in Readme

fork from [waka-readme](https://github/athul/waka-readme)  
edit for Gitea use.  

[WakaTime](https://wakatime.com) coding metrics on your profile readme.

## New to WakaTime?

> Nope? Skip to [#Prep work](#prep-work).

WakaTime gives you an idea of the time you spent on coding.
This helps you boost your productivity and competitive edge (aka _flex_ :muscle:).

1. Head over to <https://wakatime.com/> and create an account.
2. After logging in get your WakaTime API Key from <https://wakatime.com/api-key/>.
3. Install [WakaTime plugin][waka_plugins] in your favorite editor / IDE.
4. Paste in your API key to start telemetry.

:information_source: **Info** | You can read [WakaTime help][waka_help] to know more about configurations.
Alternatively, you can fetch data from WakaTime compatible services such as [Wakapi][wakapi] or [Hakatime][hakatime].

## Prep Work

A Gitea repository and a `README.md` file is required. We'll be making use of readme in the [profile repository][profile_readme].

- Save the `README.md` file after copy-pasting the following special comments. Your dev-metics will show up in between.

  ```md
  <!--START_SECTION:waka-->
  <!--END_SECTION:waka-->
  ```

  `<!--START_SECTION: -->` and `<!--END_SECTION: -->` are placeholders and must be retained as is. Whereas "`waka`" can be replaced by any alphanumeric string. See [#Tweaks](#tweaks) section for more.

- Navigate to your repo's `Settings`:
  - Go to `Secrets` (at `https://your_gitea_url/username/.profile/settings/actions/secrets` by replacing the `USERNAME` with your own username) and add a new secret "_Named_" `WAKATIME_API_KEY` with your API key as it's "_Secret_".

  - Create a new workflow file named `waka-readme.yml` inside `.gitea/workflows/` folder of your profile repository.
- Clear all existing contents, add following lines and save the file.

  ```yml
  name: Waka Readme

  on:
    # for manual workflow trigger
    workflow_dispatch:
    schedule:
      # runs at 12 AM UTC (5:30 AM IST)
      - cron: "0 0 * * *"

  jobs:
    update-readme:
      name: WakaReadme DevMetrics
      runs-on: ubuntu-latest
      steps:
        - uses: https://git.mamahaha.work/sangge/waka-readme@master # this action name
          with:
            WAKATIME_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.WAKATIME_API_KEY }}
  ```

  Refer [#Example](#example) section for a full blown workflow file.

## Notes

- Flags `REPOSITORY` and `GH_TOKEN` are required ONLY if, you are NOT using [profile readme][profile_readme].
- If you are using `GH_TOKEN`, make sure set the [fine grained token](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta) scope to repository contents with `read-and-write` access. See [#141 (comment)](https://github.com/athul/waka-readme/issues/141#issuecomment-1679831949).
- `WAKATIME_API_KEY` is a **required** secret. All other environment variables are optional.
- The above example does NOT show proper default values, refer [#Tweaks](#tweaks) for the same.
- `IGNORED_LANGUAGES` is suggested for [.NET](https://dotnet.microsoft.com) users, as WakaTime assumes you're working with `Binary`, while debugging.

## Why only the language stats (and not other data) from the API?

I am a fan of minimal designs and the profile readme is a great way to show off your skills and interests. The WakaTime API, gets us a **lot of data** about a person's **coding activity including the editors and Operating Systems you used and the projects you worked on**. Some of these projects maybe secretive and should not be shown out to the public. Using up more data via the Wakatime API will clutter the profile readme and hinder your chances on displaying what you provide **value to the community** like the pinned Repositories. I believe that **Coding Stats is nerdiest of all** since you can tell the community that you are **_exercising these languages or learning a new language_**, this will also show that you spend some amount of time to learn and exercise your development skills. That's what matters in the end :heart:
