Generate Git Commits

A command-line tool that generates GitHub or GitLab activity graph to make it look like you have been coding regularly.

How To Use

1. Make sure you have Git and Node.js installed on your machine.
2. Generate your commits:

   npx fake-git-history

   This command creates a my-history folder, initializes git, and generates commits for every day within the last year (0-3 commits per day).
3. Create a private repository called my-history in your GitHub or GitLab, and push the changes:

   cd my-history
   git remote add origin git@github.com:<USERNAME>/my-history.git
   git push -u origin master

Done! Now take a look at your GitHub profile 😉

Customizations

--commitsPerDay

Specify the number of commits to be created for each day. The default value is 0,3, which means it will randomly generate from 0 to 3 commits per day. For example, to generate commits randomly between 0 and 5 per day, you can do:

npx fake-git-history --commitsPerDay "0,5"

--workdaysOnly

Use this option if you don't want to commit on weekends. Example:

npx fake-git-history --workdaysOnly

--startDate and --endDate

By default, the script generates GitHub commits for every day within the last year. However, if you want to generate activity for specific dates, use these options:

npx fake-git-history --startDate "2020/09/01" --endDate "2020/09/30"

PS

This tool was created as a joke, so please don't take it seriously. While cheating is never encouraged, if someone is judging your professional skills based on your GitHub activity graph, they deserve to see a rich activity graph 🤓
