@isayakmondal To my knowledge, private contributions for the language card only work on self-hosted vercel instances. For the public vercel instance (i.e. https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/), it can not work since we do not have access to your private repositories. As a result, we can not count the language bytes. If you want to show languages used in your private repositories I would therefore advise you to set up your vercel instance. A guide on how this is done can be found here. |

@isayakmondal You are right, a fork uses the state of the upstream repository when it is cloned. It, however, is straightforward to pull upstream changes into your fork. Github even has a GUI button for that (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39819441/keeping-a-fork-up-to-date#:~:text=From%20GitHub%3A,compare%20the%20changes%20before%20merging). You can also, for example, use a GitHub action to automatically do this when the upstream changes (e.g. https://github.com/wei/pull). Lastly, you can also buy a premium vercel subscription and let your vercel instance point directly to the upstream. We ask you to fork the repository because the |

No I have not encountered that problem yet. Github should take care of that and keep the commit in which you changed the max duration. 👍 |
