A widget to display stats about a given Github repo

Usage

In order to use this properly. you must specify the owner of the repo, as well as the repo itself.

For example:

Example image

Then, append these to the URL for this repo, i.e. https://schwartzadev.github.io/github-widget/?user=schwartzadev&repo=debate-timer

To embed the widget into a webpage, use the following iframe (HTML) code:

<iframe src="https://schwartzadev.github.io/github-widget/?user=**name**&repo=**repo**" height="135" frameBorder="0"></iframe>

About

This uses client-side Javascript (and JQuery), using the Github API. I also used CSS and HTML. Note that since the Github API requests are unauthenticated, so if you use too many widgets (or make other unathenticated Github API requests) from a single IP, you will timeout.
