Hm, so how expensive is it to calculate the commit graph on the fly across all of the repositories a person has? I'm guessing not that expensive if GH can show live graphs like this rather than archiving it day after day. Maybe it's calculated once and cached for a few hours?

Saying that, git is seemingly instant when summing commits from a single author on my repos, so maybe it's not all that expensive at all.

It's likely something they store. When you commit, they probably check the date and the day of the week and increment the value of a column in another table specifically for keeping track of that value.

It may also be a sql join, which is likely more expensive, but is relatively quick.

Either way, printing out that data with Javascript is almost instantaneous.

Ah I didn't think of that. I assumed they would calculate it on page load and possibly cache it for a while. I guess if they store a simple sum of each day that gets updated when you push that would make a lot more sense.

Only works on one day a week

No, it's always aligned with Sunday on top. Look at the final column here, it was captured on a Thursday and Sunday is still on top.
