GitHub Wrapped Example

​
What is GitHub Wrapped?

GitHub Wrapped is a web application that transforms your GitHub repository data into a beautiful, shareable story. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, it creates an engaging visual presentation of your repository’s year in code - from commits and contributors to languages and community growth. Every commit, every pull request, every late-night push - all wrapped up in one funky story you can share with your team or the world.

​

​
How It Works

GitHub Wrapped uses the GitHub REST API to fetch repository data and transforms it into an animated story presentation:
  1. Enter a Repository - Input any public GitHub repository in the format owner/repo or paste a full GitHub URL
  2. Select a Year - Choose any year from 2008 onwards to analyze
  3. Generate Wrapped - The app fetches data from GitHub and calculates comprehensive analytics
  4. Experience the Story - Navigate through 8-12 animated slides showcasing your repository’s journey
  5. Share Your Story - Post to Twitter, copy the link, or share with your community
Sign in with GitHub to view wrapped stories for private repositories and get personalized repository suggestions.

​
What’s Included in Your Wrapped?

Each wrapped story includes:
  • Total Commits - Every push that shaped your project
  • Top Contributors - The MVPs who made it happen
  • Community Growth - Stars, forks, and new contributors
  • Busiest Months - When the magic happened
  • Language Breakdown - What powers your project
  • Major Releases - Milestones that matter
  • Activity Patterns - Night owl hours and weekend warrior stats
  • Year Summary - All your achievements in one view

​
Performance & Caching

GitHub Wrapped is designed for speed:
  • 24-hour caching for popular repositories - instant results
  • Smart API batching - efficient data fetching
  • Progressive loading - see results as they’re calculated
  • < 3 seconds load time for cached repositories
  • < 10 seconds for uncached small-to-medium repositories
The first person to generate a wrapped for a repository might wait a bit longer, but everyone after them gets instant results for 24 hours!

​
Tech Stack

Built with modern web technologies:
  • Next.js 16 with App Router for server-side rendering
  • TypeScript for type safety
  • Framer Motion for smooth animations
  • Tailwind CSS for beautiful, responsive design

API Rate Limits

GitHub Wrapped respects GitHub’s API rate limits:
