# Generate Git Commits
A command-line tool that generates GitHub or GitLab activity graph to make it look like you have been coding regularly.
## How To Use
1. Make sure you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) and
[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) installed on your machine.
2. Generate your commits:
```shell script
npx fake-git-history
```
This command creates a my-history folder, initializes git, and generates commits for every day within the last year (0-3 commits per day).
3. Create [a private repository](https://github.com/new) called `my-history` in your GitHub or GitLab, and push the changes:
```shell script
cd my-history
git remote add origin [email protected]:/my-history.git
git push -u origin master
```
Done! Now take a look at your GitHub profile 😉
## Support This Project
If you rely on this tool and find it useful, please consider supporting it. Maintaining an open source project takes time and a cup of coffee would be greatly appreciated!
## Customizations
### `--commitsPerDay`
Specify the number of commits to be created for each day.
The default value is `0,3`, which means it will randomly generate from 0 to 3 commits per day. For example, to generate commits randomly between 0 and 5 per day, you can do:
```shell script
npx fake-git-history --commitsPerDay "0,5"
```
### `--workdaysOnly`
Use this option if you don't want to commit on weekends. Example:
```shell script
npx fake-git-history --workdaysOnly
```
### `--startDate` and `--endDate`
By default, the script generates GitHub commits for every day within the last year.
However, if you want to generate activity for specific dates, use these options:
```shell script
npx fake-git-history --startDate "2020/09/01" --endDate "2020/09/30"
```
## PS
This tool was created as a joke, so please don't take it seriously. While cheating is never encouraged, if someone is judging your professional skills based on your GitHub activity graph, they deserve to see a rich activity graph 🤓
