Repository pin

GitHub lets a profile pin six repositories. This card is one repository as an image, so a README can show as many as it likes, in whatever order it likes.

The repository pin card

?username=octocat&repo=hello-world&show_owner=true&show=topics

show takes a comma-separated list. topics draws the repository’s topics in a row under the description, as many as fit. prs_opened, prs_commented, prs_reviewed, issues_opened and issues_commented each add a count, for the repository rather than for the user.
