Artificially keep your GitHub streak going, and going, and going...
Because it's cool to have a long GitHub streak. You know you want to have one.
So giddyup, star and fork it now!
Writeup: http://www.jontsai.com/2015/03/25/hack-github-streaks/
Motivation:
- Being diligent about slacking off.
- As an engineer/entrepreneur--I love automation.
- The quote, "Entrepeneurs work 80 hours a week so they can avoid working 40 hours a week."
- If GitHub is part of your workflow/collaboration/deployment to production, this project is a perfect tool ensure that your whole DevOps pipeline is in good order.
- Clone this repository
- Type
make [install]just one time on a Linux webserver that's always on, and you're set! (if you're curious, read the source code) - No need to do anything after that, ever again (unless you want to)
- Recruiters and lame GitHub spiders will start contacting you
- Profit
If the streak fails to run somehow, and your streak is broken, you can create a catchup commit as follows:
./streakify.sh <YYYY-MM-DD>
To manually create a catchup commit:
- Make a trivial change to the
.streakfile - Commit the change
- Amend the commit date:
git commit --amend --date="$(date -R MMDDhhmm YY)"
- Fork this repository
- Submit a pull request
- Will add to this list...
