GitHub history art

Paint some sweet art in your GitHub commit history.

Example

HOW?!? 😻

Setup

• Create a personal API token (with access to create/delete private repos)
• npm i gitkatt -g
• (Optional) Export env variables for the script to default to

  export GITHUB_USER='YOUR_GITHUB_USER'
  export GITHUB_API_TOKEN='YOUR_GITHUB_API_TOKEN'
  export DRAW_START_DATE='2017-02-26'
  export ART_FILENAME='art'

  DRAW_START_DATE is the top left corner of your painting (should be a Sunday, otherwise it'll get well weird)

Run

Basically, the longer you let it run the darker your dots becomes. Every time you run it it will delete (clears the graph) and create a repo called gitkatt-child-repo (Example repo).

gitkatt

A file called ./art will be created automatically with a template.

• any non-whitespace char gets filled
• the canvas is 7 in height (7 days)
