Write text on the GitHub contribution heatmap by autogenerating commits

GitHub Heatmap Text (GHHT)

Pretend the green squares on GitHub heatmaps are pixels and "render" text on them with this useless Python package.

Install

python3 -m pip install --user https://github.com/matiaslindgren/ghht/archive/v0.5.2.zip

Examples

python3 -m ghht -h

Git commits

Create an empty directory (or use an existing git repo) and fill it with some commits:

mkdir commit-sink
python3 -m ghht "hello." 2015 --pad-left 8 --git-repo ./commit-sink

Then push commit-sink to a repository on GitHub.

ASCII output

Run with --ascii to print results to stdout instead of generating commits.

python3 -m ghht 'haha wow! :DDD' 2014 --ascii

Output:
