Create an attribute called data-repo:

<div data-repo="jquery-boilerplate/boilerplate"></div>

Include jQuery:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.0/jquery.min.js"></script>

Include plugin's CSS and JS:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/base.css">
<script src="jquery.github.min.js"></script>

Call the plugin:

$('[data-repo]').github();

And that's it \o/

Check the full example here

Prefer a non-jquery version with pure JavaScript? No problem, @ricardobeat already did one :) Check his fork!

1. Fork it!
2. Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
3. Commit your changes: git commit -am 'Add some feature'
4. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
5. Submit a pull request :D
