If you want to beautify your GitHub activity history
A Python script that fakes your GitHub contribution graph by backdating commits to draw pixel art. You design a 52×7 image, and the script floods a new repo with commits dated to match each pixel's shade. It's a novelty tool for anyone who wants their profile graph to spell out text or show a drawing.
The pixel-to-commit mapping concept is straightforward and actually works — GitHub's contribution graph is just a date-indexed heatmap, and abusing --date is a legitimate git feature. The HTML canvas editor (Git.html) for drawing the source image is a nice touch that avoids needing external image tools. Multi-language README (Russian, Hindi, Chinese, English) shows the target audience understood.
Last touched in March 2022 and effectively abandoned — the README even acknowledges the GUI was never finished. GitHub has tightened contribution graph rules since then (private repos, verified email requirements), so results may silently break. The script has no image processing built in; you manually resize your drawing to 52×7 first, which is error-prone. More importantly, this is profile fraud — if you use it and a recruiter looks at your actual repos versus your green graph, the disconnect is obvious and damaging.
