# Github Contact Card Section

Extends the contact card in the sidebar to show public repos of the people you email.
Uses GitHub's public API to look up a GitHub user based on their email address,
and then displays public repos and their stars.

This example is a good starting point for plugins that want to display data from
external sources in the sidebar.
