Caught my GitHub contributions at exactly 9,999 in the last year today. Wasn't aiming for it. What a number to catch!

I pulled the public-repository breakdown a little later, by which point the total had reached 10,017. This API snapshot covers October 19, 2025 at 00:00 through October 20, 2026 at 23:59:59, London time (BST at both boundaries). The 27 public repositories below account for 7,889 contributions; this is not a breakdown of the earlier 9,999 in the screenshot. These counts include commit, pull request, and repository creation contributions.

For the longest time, sharing code from GitHub meant screenshotting or pasting raw snippets into Markdown. Both options felt brittle—screenshots hide the text from RSS readers, while copy-pastes drift out of sync the minute the upstream file changes. I wanted the readability of Emgithub, the SEO of server-side rendering, and zero third-party JavaScript.

That mix finally landed this week: a {% github %} shortcode that fetches code at build time, highlights it, numbers each line, and offers a copy button. All it needs is the GitHub blob URL and an optional style flag for light or dark chrome.
