If you want it to be very efficient, pick a language like Rust, Go, Nim, maybe even Crystal or Haskell, which can produce a (mostly) self-contained executable, without installing anything. Write the logic for updating your profile with it, all while honing your efficient coding skills.

The few people who look at your GitHub profile may be some important people, like your every future prospective employer. It may make sense to impress them a little bit.
