Does anyone know how to find the implementation / service in use at github for this? The blog post has no additional details, nothing.

I dug deep into this topic a few weeks ago and actually build a svg + placeholder => png render service.

also found https://mugshotbot.com/, which seem quite nice, but my approach is more a "bring your own svg".

Creator of Mugshot Bot here! Did you see the GitHub renderer [1]? It fetches the repo via the API then renders a HTML styled with Tailwind CSS. To render the image, the content is passed along to browserless [2].
