Request Feature
This project uses python's datetime to calculate the date that each commit must be sent. It uses os to send git commands to the terminal and exploits git's ability to create commits to the past (and future) to create art.
Sample inputs are stored in the /inputs folder. Each non-whitespace character represents a filled-in block on the GitHub contributions page. Only the first 7 lines and 53 characters of each line are parsed.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
- python
- git
- Create a copy of this repository
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/[YOUR-USERNAME]/[YOUR-REPO-NAME].git
Navigate to the local repo and run the following line in the terminal
python3 main.py -i inputs/hello.txt
To remove the commits, delete the repository.
For more examples, please refer to the Documentation
Improve ease of use (remove need to copy files from one repo to another)- WIP Make use of the contribution page's full color palette

- Create more sample inputs
