v1.4.0: web configurator

New: the configurator. Enter a username, pick effects and options, and see them rendered live on that profile's public data with the same code the Action runs. Then set it up with one click (GitHub opens with the workflow prefilled), the one-line installer, or the YAML.

• Generated workflows now run right after the file is added, and queue instead of racing.
• install.sh supports README_POSITION and writes the same workflow as the configurator.
• Internals: the CLI's logic moved into shared modules; Action output is byte-identical to v1.3.1.

Nothing to do if you use @v1.

v1.3.1: safer README handling

• Damaged markers leave your README untouched (with a warning) instead of adding a second block.
• readme.md / Readme.md are found and committed correctly on Linux runners.
• The generated block now says it's regenerated; use update-readme: false to lay images out yourself.
• The installer won't overwrite a profile-effects.yml workflow that isn't from CustomizeYouProfile (use FORCE=1 to replace it).

v1.3.0: calm default style + Safari fix

• New default style (style: clean) for intro, skills and dino-run: GitHub colors, no glow, separate light and dark images that follow the viewer's theme. dino-run now looks like Chrome's offline T-rex game.
• style: neon keeps the original glowing look.
• Safari fix: typed text in intro, terminal and notebook no longer shows all lines at once.
• Animations start on a visible frame, so previews aren't blank.

Upgrade: nothing to do if you use @v1.

v1.2.0: 11 effects + seasonal modes

Animated effects for your GitHub profile README, drawn from your own GitHub data and refreshed every day.

Effects

• About you: intro (neon name + typed lines), skills (tech-stack marquee), rpg-card (character sheet with level, stats, class and achievements), languages (top languages as an LED equalizer)
• Your contribution year: dino-run, fireworks, black-hole, oscilloscope, terminal, notebook, space-shooter
• Opt-in modes: seasons: new-year, halloween, birthday: MM-DD, countdown: "YYYY-MM-DD Label; birthday". All stay off unless you set them.

Quick start

permissions:
  contents: write
jobs:
  effects:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: qwerty-ll/CustomizeYouProfile@v1
        with:
          effects: intro, rpg-card, dino-run

Or run the one-command installer from the README.

The action writes the SVGs to profile-effects/ and keeps them in a marked block of your README (creating it if needed), without touching the rest. Only public repositories are read.
