Research direction
The issue requests a feature to prefill a username in the URL to automatically generate a chart. Check the current codebase for how the web page loads (likely a single page app). Look at the JavaScript that handles chart generation and see if there's a way to read URL parameters. If not, add a simple check for a `username` query parameter on page load and call the existing chart generation function with that username. The repo is at https://github.com/sallar/github contributions chart, so examine files like `index.html` or `app.js` to understand the structure.
