I found a solution #265

Hey!

Since the Vercel deployment is currently down, I found a way to keep using the activity graph without relying on Vercel or Replit.

The idea is to generate the graph as an SVG using GitHub Actions and store it in the repository.

1. Create the workflow

Create this file in your repository:

.github/workflows/activity-graph.yml

Then add:

name: Update Activity Graph

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "*/5 * * * *"
  workflow_dispatch:

permissions:
  contents: write

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6

      - name: Generate activity graph
        uses: maurodesouza/github-readme-activity-graph-action@v1
        with:
          username: YOUR_USERNAME
          options: theme=github-dark&area=true&hide_border=true
          output_path: dist/activity-graph.svg
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

      - name: Publish SVG
        uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v3.1.0
        with:
          target_branch: output
          build_dir: dist
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your GitHub username.

2. Run the Action

After committing the workflow, go to:

Actions → Update Activity Graph → Run workflow

The workflow will generate the SVG and publish it to the output branch.

3. Use the generated SVG in the README

Then the README can use:

<a href="https://github.com/ashutosh00710/github-readme-activity-graph">
  <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/username/username/output/activity-graph.svg?v=1" alt="username github activity graph">
</a>

This means the graph is generated automatically by GitHub Actions and served directly from GitHub, instead of depending on:

github-readme-activity-graph.vercel.app

The graph can still use options such as theme, area, and hide_border.

I think this could be a good alternative to the current Vercel deployment, especially for users who just want the graph to keep working without setting up another external hosting service.
