# Unicorn Contributor
Do you feel pressed to complete your GitHub profile green bar?
**Complete the GitHub contribution graph in few seconds!**
# Normal mode
1. ```npm i -g unicorn-contributor```
2. Create a new repository in GitHub. For an obfuscated graph, create a private
repository (paid). Then you should enable the contribution setting "Public and
private contributions" in your GitHub profile.
3. ```git clone YOUR_REPO_GIT_URL```
4. ```cd YOUR_REPO_NAME```
5. ```unicorn-contributor```
# Realistic mode
1. ```npm i -g unicorn-contributor```
2. Create a new repository in GitHub. For an obfuscated graph, create a private
repository (paid). Then you should enable the contribution setting "Public and
private contributions" in your GitHub profile.
3. ```git clone YOUR_REPO_GIT_URL```
4. ```cd YOUR_REPO_NAME```
5. ```unicorn-contributor --realistic```
Note: With the flag `--realistic-gaps 100`, you can change the number
of gaps for the period of time selected (default 2016-2019).

# Why did I do this?
In my opinion, none of the graphs/statistics provided by GitHub are useful.
If anything, they can be misleading. Those metrics are not an
accurate measurement of value, which is the only thing that matters.
Some real life examples that upset me enough to push me to create this:
* Recruiters looking at the GitHub green bar like if it accurately displayed the
quality of the Engineer.
* Engineers judging other engineers just by looking at the GitHub profile.
* Managers or other engineers looking at the commit and line counts. These
metrics can be found for each Engineer and repository. Like if writing 1000 lines
actually added 1000 times the value. Sometimes, a simple dependency version
bump can improve performance and bring much more value.
# Disagree?
If you think that code metrics are useful for anything, please open an
issue to this repo, and if your argumentation is good enough I will even
consider removing the repository and the ***npm module***.
# Contributing
I would be very glad if anyone wanted to contribute to this project. Crazy
and nice features are totally welcomed!
Some ideas that still need some work are currently marked as
WIP in the `--help` output.
