Timeline
In the last 2h, I implemented several improvements. The lines of code are now saved into a list and sorted by programming language and lines of code. If there are multiple files in the same language, their lines of code are counted together. I also added the option to enter a GitHub API key, which allows for more API requests. Additionally, I integrated a browser popup that lets you easily enable or disable the extension and enter the API key.
In the last 40 minutes, I programmed a feature that counts the lines of each code file and prints them to the console. The next step will be to save these counts and integrate them into the HTML/CSS interface.
In the last 1.5h, I implemented a feature that scans whether a file is a code file using GitHub's Tree API and then saves it to later count the lines of code.
In the last 2h I built a Firefox extension with dummy data featuring a responsive circular diagram. The plugin mimics GitHub’s visual style for seamless integration.
