Commit Canvas

This tool allows you to generate git commits on specific dates. You can draw your commit pattern in a browser interface, then replay those commits into a repository to customize your GitHub contributions graph.

Add your screenshots of the editor, example patterns, and profile result:

How to Use

1. Download or clone this project:

   git clone
   cd github-trick
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Create a new GitHub repository via GitHub UI or CLI for the pattern:

4. Start the server:

   node main.js
   

5. Wait for all commits to finish (depends on your pattern size).

6. Open the browser interface: http://localhost:3000, draw your pattern, choose the year, and click Send.

7. Push commits to GitHub:

   cd repo
   git remote add origin <your-repo-url>
   git push origin master
   

   (or main depending on your default branch)

8. to remove the pattern just delete the repository

Notes

• The script rewrites commit history by setting the --date for each commit.
• Invalid dates in the grid are automatically skipped.
• Higher intensity cells mean multiple commits on that day.

Possible Simplifications

• Automatically initialize git and set remote inside the repo folder.
• Automatically push after all commits finish.
• Allow selecting the repo folder from the browser interface.
• Turn it into a desktop app using Tauri or Electron.
• Add a live preview of your commit graph before committing.
