Top languages sorted by repositories or commits

[MR-Addict]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

It seems that default top languages is sorted by repositories that contains corresponding language.

But that's not always the case. Top languages sorted by commits could be more precise.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add an options to API like this:

https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs?method=repos;
#or
https://github-readme-stats.vercel.app/api/top-langs?method=commits;

Describe alternatives you've considered

No response

Additional context

A similar profile summary project given these two options:

Sorting by lines of code would be even better :) Not sure how many API calls this will require though, so maybe we can try to implement it in the GitHub Action that's going to be released. This is a low priority though, so feel free to take it up yourselves!

[MR-Addict]

I understand that implementing this feature may require additional API calls or resources, and I appreciate your consideration of implementing it in a GitHub Action.

I'll keep an eye on the project and would be happy to contribute to this feature if and when resources become available.

Thank you for maintaining this great project!

[Zo-Bro-23]

Let's keep the issue open!

A lot of things can be implemented in the GitHub action 🚀.

Btw, @MR-Addict the pie chart you show in the examples has already been implemented #2099. It just needs a last review from @Zo-Bro-23 or @anuraghazra.

[Zo-Bro-23]

Yeah I'll take a look at that when I get some time.

Take your time!

I think we've evaluated this long ago, its not feasible to fetch each and every commit of users to calculate the top languages. Way to many api requests will need to be invoked.

I agree that this feature request is infeasible with the Vercel model. With the Action, this could be done, but it will change the codebase too much, and I, therefore, don't think implementing is worth it. In that case, people can create a new repository and use the npm package when it is released (see #2473).

I, however, think we can merge #2111 and make it available under an ENV variable so that we can use it in the GitHub action. With this solution; most people will be happy.

I will close this one for now. @MR-Addict, you can keep an eye on #2473 if you want to implement this yourself.

[MR-Addict]

Ok, I'll keep an eye on it. And I'll take a look at github action.

Again, thinks for your efforts.
