Hey, my script is saying that i have 2009 stars, and i dont know from where that value comes from because i dont that many stars.

Hi @shadowoff09! There are a number of reasons this could be happening. This code counts the stars (and stats) of any repo you have contributed to, or any repo that marks you as a "contributor." You can be added to a repo as a contributor even if you haven not pushed any commits to it.

If you only want to show owned repositories, set the environment variable EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS=true wherever this code is running (GitHub Actions or elsewhere).

Thank you for the reponse @jstrieb.

The variable EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS is set to true in the main workflow, and the stars are still the same.

As you can see here: https://github.com/shadowoff09/github-stats/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml

Same issue +1

I think you need to specify the variable in the main.yaml file

@jstrieb EXCLUDE_FORKED_REPOS is true in my workflow, but it still counts stars and languages from a repo I have contributed to: https://github.com/Giorgi/github-stats/blob/7660e5a6b147e252c4826ea93807eb47f6255c2d/.github/workflows/main.yml#L45
