How to track and display profile views on GitHub

This is interesting because this didn't used to be possible from a repository's readme, I believe, because linked images would be cached and served from GitHub's CDN. I wonder what's changed (if it indeed has)

That's literally discussed in depth in the article. They use headers for cache-busting just like README badges have done forever.
