Description

Description: I would like to suggest adding a footer section to the website/project that displays key repository details. This will make the project more engaging and transparent for visitors.

Suggested Footer Content:

  • ⭐ GitHub stars count
  • 🍴 Forks count
  • 👥 Number of contributors
  • 📄 Link to contributing guidelines / documentation
  • 🔗 Direct link to the repository

Benefits:

  • Highlights the popularity and activity of the project
  • Encourages users to star or fork the repo
  • Provides quick access to important links (contributing, repo link, docs)
  • Makes the overall design look more complete and professional

Optional Ideas:

  • Auto-fetch stats via GitHub API for real-time updates
  • Show “Last updated” date of the repo

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the project's source code to locate the main layout file where a footer can be added. Consider using GitHub API to fetch repository statistics dynamically.
