How does it work?

The script will create a local repository and generate commits in it. Once the commits are created, it will push them to the remote repository you specified in the .env file. If you didn't specify a remote repository, you will have to push the changes yourself.

Usage guide 🚀

Important

Please note that if you want the repository to be private but still want the contributions to appear on your profile. You will have to check the Private contributions option in your profile settings.

Prerequisites

To use this script, you will need both Node.js and git installed on your machine.

Installation

To install the script, you will have to clone the repository and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/AmnezziaCS/ContributorJS.git
cd ./ContributorJS/
npm install

Fill in the `.env.example` file

To make the script work, you will have to fill in the .env file with your information.

The following values are mandatory:

GIT_USER_EMAIL: Your git email.

The following values are optional:

GIT_REPOSITORY: The link to the repository you want to push the commits to. If left empty, the script will create a local repository that you'll have to push yourself.
MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY: Defaults to 6 if empty. The maximum number of commits the script will create per day. Also note that the script will create a random number of commits between 0 and MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY.
COMMIT_ON_WEEKENDS: Defaults to NO if empty. Whether or not you want the script to create commits on weekends.

Example of a filled `.env` file

GIT_USER_EMAIL = myamazingemail@test.com
GIT_REPOSITORY = https://github.com/AmnezziaCS/myamazingrepository.git
MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY = 9
COMMIT_ON_WEEKENDS = NO

Once the .env.example file is filled, you can rename it to .env.

Run the script

To run the script, you will have to execute the following command in the root folder of the project.

node .

`/tmp` folder

A /tpm folder is going to be created in your ./ContributorJS/ folder. It will contain the local repository with all the commits.

If you chose not to specify a remote repository, you can push the commits to your own repository from this folder.

Troubleshooting 🔧

Note

The activity might take a bit of time to appear on your profile.

If the script doesn't go through, you should get an error in your cmd. if so, make sure:

That you set the correct email in .env.
That you gave the correct repository link in .env.
That the repository you created is fully empty.
That you followed the setup guide correctly.

However, if you still have issues, feel free to open an issue on the GitHub repository.
