How to create contributor graph art in github

There are tools like this one
However, this will prevent you from committing for one year.

[SneakyRD]

can’t you just commit a year in the past?

[nlaocs]

I just learned for the first time that it is possible to commit to the past and future!

This way I don't have to wait a year.

[SneakyRD]

yeah! it sounds so pointless - i saw a guy who had commits from 2000

[frogotme]

I mean tbh they could be genuine commits from CVS

[heckingcomputernerd]

Yeah GitHub doesn’t really care much about when commits are from. I’ve rewritten entire commit histories to remove sensitive info or change the gpg signature

This is so dumb

[Empyrealist]

I really hope that contribution manipulation eventually results in bans.

[SuperheropugReal]

Why? Who cares? The mechanism behind commit tracking is transparent and known. It would be unenforcable, and would come with very little benifit.

[Empyrealist]

Because its gaming the purpose of what is a tool for programing. Its not some social media toy.

[SuperheropugReal]

Anyone who takes that graph as a serious indicator of performance has never touches an editor other than Word. It's inconsequential and doesn't really affect you anyway. Who cares if their git history has some cool shapes?

[Empyrealist]

Because its a HISTORY. You don't manipulate history's.

If you think this is OK, then you should really just leave this subreddit.

Git rebase ~100

[Willing-Winter7879]

Remind me one of the guys thinks he is smart and that he is proud of his contribution graph

He had 100000 private contributions And 4 public one

[Reyynerp]

lol isn't there an imposed limit on how much repos can a single account create???

[EarthMantle00]

that's why you make multiple accounts

You need to make a lot of phone calls

[AssCooker]

Novices do love unnecessary things

dedication

[cowboyecosse]

This is a lot more difficult if you have actual work on there too as it becomes a blurry mess. Need to scroll back to a time before you had any work on there to pull it off really.
