Github-readme-stats: help with hosting

[1UC1F3R616]

I am new to vercel hosting,
When I clicked on deploy I got an error related to code not found,
I belive I did a mistake in setting the correct directory of code on vercel. Can you please be adding more info for self hosting.

• Thanks

After clicking the deploy button you should get this screen

[1UC1F3R616]

@anuraghazra yes after here please

[anuraghazra]

Then just click continue and select your account and again click continue, after that you have to create a personal access token from github to add it in the environment variables

@anuraghazra

[anuraghazra]

yeah just select the personal account

[1UC1F3R616]

Continue from here

Environment variable set here any other change required? @anuraghazra

[anuraghazra]

Tried after cleaning also but no benefit

Thanks for the quick help :)

Make sure your vercel account is connected to Github

[1UC1F3R616]

It got deployed, recived a mail
I found that the repo that it created was empty so I cloned the code and added in it's created repo and then used a different name.
I am not sure if this is the reason that solved the issue. But maybe someone can try this in future.
Thankyou again

[anuraghazra]

I see, well vercel should automatically clone the repo to your account if you have github integration enabled

[1UC1F3R616]

Yes it's enabled without that it wasn't letting me go ahead.
Btwn this is a really nice project, thanks for this.
Issue is solved.

[anuraghazra]

Great!

I had the same issue: Vercel created a new empty repo. I'm new to Vercel so don't know if this is a Vercel bug.

My solution was to fork this repo, then at https://vercel.com/import, "Import Git Repository" _not_ "Import Template"

Might even be better than using this repo as a template, because GitHub recognizes my repo as a fork. So your fork count goes up, and I get the convenient UI for seeing if my repo is behind.

Thanks @olets , This is perfect.
