Project Description πŸ“œ


The script python_repos.py checks GitHub for the most starred python repositories by communicating with GitHub's API and renders the result to an SVG file using Pygal. The SVG file can be visualized in a browser as a Bar-Chart.

This project was made in a bid to participate in MLH Local Hack Day Hackaton 2018 hosted by GitHub.
