Create Arbitrary Words on GitHub Activity Page #1

Open themattman opened 9 years ago

This script should be able to write words on my GitHub activity history page. Words like HACK or my username. This can be achieved by differing the amount of commit activity per day to get differently shaded boxes.

To go a step further, this script should take into account any activity from the day and be able to throttle the number of commits to continue writing a word.

I've already considered this. Instead of throttling the number of commits, the bot could simply drop a payload of 30 commits on designated days.

The fundamental purpose of this bot is to mimic baseline activity in order to demonstrate engagement. I am looking to preserve an aesthetic balance of commit density. The only work left to be done is to replace the daily crontab with a more frequent system check so that I don't "miss" a commit
