GithubChartHack is a quick hack for customize your github chart activity. It simulate 0-10 commit(s) every day and uses the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables to make commits in the past.
Place index.js in your Git repository. Make sure your remote repository URL is set, and that you have a public SSH key set up. Then run the script with node, with an integer specifying n number of days before today to generate commits for. E.g.,
node index.js <n>
It might take a while to generate all the commits. If githubChatHack stops before it finishes, you can resume where you last left off by specifying a date before today when you want it to resume, like so:
node index.js <n> <date>
n is the remaining days you want to generate commits for, and date is a date string in the form yyyy-mm-dd (e.g., 2013-04-05).
The following calendar is the result of running node index.js 365:
The run took a total of eight hours. Beautiful, isn't it?
Enjoy your decorated calendar!
