Modifying the commit history of git repositories in order to write messages in GitHub's contribution graph.
I did this project as a way of learning how to use the Rugged library which is a ruby binding to libgit2.
Check out the picture below or see it live (note: more than a year has passed since I created this, so the contribution graph for this account now looks empty).
Using the letters from the alphabet.yml file, I was able to write GITHUB
in the contribution history.
First, set the EMAIL and USERNAME values in commitart.rb to whatever
values you want for the committer and author of the commits.
Then, run ruby commitart.rb /absolute/path/to/existing/repo GITHUB
Assumption: the repository you are targeting already exists.
- gitfiti - uses python to make raw git calls and allows you to draw pictures such as the '1up' mushroom from Mario.
- github-contributions - uses JavaScript and provides a GUI for designing the look of the contribution calendar to be generated.
