5. Go to the editor and choose GitHub Repo block.

Stuff to fix&modify:

• Unfortunately, the original version has some issues which needed to be fixed. Therefore, the plugin has been modified regarding the points shown below.

FIX API RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED & REMOVE DARKMODE

• The issue comes from the way how GitHub counts requests for rate limit. For unauthorized requests, it is limited by IP address as shown in the picture below.
  
• Additionally, I don't see the need for having a "dark mode" option in the plugin.

FIX LINKS NOT CLICKABLE & REMOVE AVATAR

• Links on the card are not clickable!
  
• Moreover, I believe that an avatar shown on the card is a nice gimmick but not essential.

Concept & Result:

FIX API RATE LIMIT EXCEEDED , REMOVE DARKMODE & REMOVE AVATAR

• Use authorized API requests at the GitHub API through personalized bearer access tokens. (see: WordPress Auth & GitHub rate limit)
  
• In Addition, the plugin's inspector needed an extra text field to enter the personalized access token.
  

MAKE CLICKABLE LINKS

• Issue was already solved in a pull request but never merged to the master branch.
  

Status:

Works fine. Potential for enhancements - Open for contributions.
