How to use

1. Copy files to your repository

Clone or download and add to your repository:

File/folder	Description
.github/workflows/update-counter.yml	GitHub Actions workflow
theme/	Digit images 0.png–9.png (beaver theme)
counter.json	{"count": 0} — fallback when API fails

2. Personal Access Token

1. GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
2. Create a token with read:user scope (or repo for full access)
3. Copy the token (it is shown only once)

3. Repository secret

1. Your repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
2. New repository secret
3. Name: TRAFFIC_TOKEN
4. Value: paste the token from step 2

4. Theme folder

The repository must contain a theme/ folder with files 0.png … 9.png (digits for the counter).
You can get them from the original repository:

• Views_Counter_with_custom_images — theme
  Download the theme folder and place it in the root of your repo.

5. Add the badge to README

Insert this line into your README (or keep the one that comes with the repo):

[![Repositories](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Bobr2610/Repositories_count/main/counter.png?v=1787360978)](https://github.com/Bobr2610/Repositories_count)

Autonomous: On the first run, the workflow automatically replaces OWNER/REPO and the branch with your repository — no manual editing needed. It also updates ?v= to a timestamp on each run to avoid cache.

6. Running

• Automatically: the workflow runs every hour and on push (except for changes to counter.png, theme/, README.md)
• Manually: Actions → Update Repository Counter → Run workflow

Configuration

1. Add the TRAFFIC_TOKEN secret — Personal Access Token with read:user or repo permission
2. The workflow is fully autonomous: it detects the current repository and branch, updates the badge URL automatically (works when forked), and refreshes counter.png every hour and on push
