commit-graph-hack

Simple Ruby and bash script that will enhance your commit history in your GitHub profile commit graph.

How does it work?

The following Ruby code will generates a bash script that then will create random numbers of commits each day for the period. It's a bit hacky but... it works!

require'active_support/time'classCommitGraphHack# the period for which the data should be created (as time ago from now)period=12.monthstart=Time.now - periodlength=period / 86400commits=length.times.map{Random.rand(10)}randomness={0=>0,1=>0,2=>0,3=>1,4=>2,5=>3,6=>6,7=>0,8=>0,9=>1,10=>0}File.open('./generate-commits.sh','w')do |f|
commits.eachdo |commit|
randomness[commit].timesdof.puts"echo \"#{Random.new_seed}\" > ./temp"f.puts"git add ./temp"f.puts"GIT_AUTHOR_DATE='#{start.to_s[0..9]}T12:00:00' GIT_COMMITTER_DATE='#{start.to_s[0..9]}T12:00:00' \\"f.puts"git commit -a -m 'Make the commit graph burn :fire:' --date='#{start.to_s[0..9]}T12:00:00'"endstart += 86400endf.puts"rm ./temp"f.puts"git rm ./temp"f.puts"git commit -a -m 'Made some rocket science :rocket:'"endend

To apply it to any repository you like, simply copy the generated bash script into your repository, run it and remove the temp file afterwards.
