Graph Greener

An automated utility designed to populate the GitHub contribution matrix through programmatic backdated commits. Built for developers who want to maintain a specific visual aesthetic on their profile.

How it Works

The script generates a series of historical commits by manipulating the GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables, allowing you to fill in gaps in your activity history.

Getting Started

1. Environment: Ensure you have Python 3.x installed.
2. Configure: Edit the variables in graph_greener.py:
   • START_DAYS_AGO: Set the starting point of your history.
   • MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY: Controls the intensity of the green squares.
   • FREQUENCY: Adjusts commit density to simulate realistic workflow patterns.
3. Execution:

   python graph_greener.py

4. Deployment:
   • Create a new, empty repository on GitHub.
   • Follow the script's terminal output to push the generated local history.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This tool is intended for aesthetic and educational purposes only. Programmatic activity generation is a common experiment among developers, but it should not be used to misrepresent your actual skill level or professional work history.
