It\u2019ll look similar to the screen above. It lets you sort <strong>by a set time<\/strong> (weekly, monthly, or yearly) and it also lets you sort <strong>by coding languages<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>GitHub offers dozens of languages, so it can be tough knowing what to settle on. If you\u2019re a frontend developer then <strong>CSS<\/strong> or <strong>JavaScript<\/strong> would make the most sense. Backend developers may go with their favorite language like <strong>Python<\/strong> or <strong>Ruby<\/strong> or <strong>PHP<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to note is that GitHub has a <strong>set limit on the total public API requests<\/strong>. This plugin does cache everything but you can increase the rate limits by <strong>getting your own GitHub access token<\/strong> for the extension (totally free).<\/p>\n<p>You add this token by right-clicking on the Githunt icon in Chrome, then selecting \u201cOptions\u201d from the context menu. On this new page, you can add an API key to <strong>increase the API quota<\/strong> and ultimately <strong>browse more projects per day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For most users, this won\u2019t be necessary because the Githunt plugin is simple enough to <strong>operate on its own<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Just install the plugin from the <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/githunt\/khpcnaokfebphakjgdgpinmglconplhp\" rel=\"noopener\">Chrome Web Store<\/a><\/strong> and open a new tab.
