    stats = {
        "repos": user.public_repos,
        "followers": user.followers,
        "contributions": get_contributions(username)
    }
    return stats

github-calendar:

GitHubCalendar(".calendar", "your-username", {
    responsive: true,
    tooltips: true
}).then(function() {
    // Callback after calendar is loaded
});

Both repositories serve different purposes:

• github-stats focuses on generating comprehensive statistics
• github-calendar specializes in displaying the contribution calendar

Choose based on your specific needs: detailed stats or a simple calendar view.
