Looks great!

assumes the terminal is 256 colors

Would there be a way to degrade gracefully somehow if not? Perhaps using grayscale?

Thank you. https://github.com/k4rthik/git-cal/commit/2c6b50b57fa818d943... should solve it partially (exit(1) if tput colors < 256)

Weird, because before this check was introduced this morning, Konsole reported 8 colours, but rendered your git-cal correctly, using more than 8.

I would recommend my small library Color::ANSI::Util (https://metacpan.org/module/Color::ANSI::Util ) which has ansifg($rgb) and ansibg($rgb) function. They can detect terminal's color depth and output either 24-bit/256-color/16-color ANSI color escape codes.

But I guess the author wants to avoid using non-core dependencies.

Cool script, anyhow! I spent a lot of times looking at this kind of activity graph on Github.

As already submitted to the Github issues, the ability to show activity of multiple git repos as a single graph would be neat, as we tend work across multiple git repos.

Awesome! Running $tput colors will tell you if you have 256 or not (mine shows 8). I am on ubuntu and found a tutorial to upgrade - will give it a try just so I can run this.

Slightly off-topic, I had some fun with tput about a month ago here: http://max.io/bash.html ...but it only supports 8 colors. Maybe I can upgrade with this new knowledge. Thank you!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing, I'm going to have fun pimping my scripts now.

I just did "export TERM=xterm-256color" in my gnome-terminal 3.8.4 which made "tput colors" return 256 and the script worked.

tput doesn't seem to recognize Konsole's 24bit color support though.

Cute project. The fundamental problem remaining is that proper participation on Github seems to still require a web browser.

If you could figure out how to get the rest of its functionality working well on the command line (discussions, etc.) without resorting to unnavigable links sessions, then it'd be a still funkier achievement.

I'm surprised they haven't done this themselves, to be honest.

The script works on any git repo. It's just that the graphs being produced are similar to those found on Github. Aside from that, the script is not related to Github at all.

Yes, the title is slightly misleading and different from the project title "github like contributions calendar on terminal". Adding github support (just to view the same graph on terminal rather than firing the web page for it) is one of the suggestions and is in TODO list.

k4rthik4• 13 years ago

It is now. Added --github | gh option to pull public contributions data from github

Awesome! +1 for using Perl :)
