Under the hood of github-readme-stats project

Cool stuff. Might use something like this for report stats on my site. Thank you for the idea!

Recently I came across this "stats picture" in someone's Readme profile on Github, displaying profile information (like contributions, stars, etc.) and it caught my attention. How does it render dynamic information inside of the static markdown page? Looks cool though, so I started digging and wrote this post about my investigation.
