A simple application that generates a repository that being added into your GitHub account creates a nice contributions calendar.
wget -qO- https://raw.github.com/IonicaBizau/github-contributions/master/installer.sh | sh
If your system does not have wget, you can also use curl:
curl https://raw.github.com/IonicaBizau/github-contributions/master/installer.sh | sh
The installer script will create a folder in home called github-contributions. So enter in that folder (cd ~/github-contributions) and run node server or directly:
$ cd ~/github-contributions && node server.js
The application runs on the port 9000. Open your browser at http://localhost:9000/ there you will see the contribution designer. You will draw the commits. A JSON object is generated:
{
"coordinates": [
{
"x": ...,
"y": ...
},
...
{
...
}
],
"commitsPerDay": 40
}Edit the commitsPerDay value. That sets the day commit count.
Then click the generate button and wait... :-) You can delight with the debug messages from terminal while the repository is generated.
After the repository is finished you will get a link for download. Unzip the zip file, add your remote git repository and run git push -u origin master.
Design your GitHub contributions calendar using the designer from the browser:
A repo will be generated. After pushing it to GitHub, your profile will look like this:
