Not sure if this morally ok, because I assume it uses git timestamps to trick the activity graph.

Why would it be morally not ok to trick the activity graph and/or create fake git timestamps?

Argorak• 13 years ago

Let's put it another way: it shows very nicely that the activity graph is a very nice plaything, but not to be trusted in any way.

Hacking things is not morally ok?

Just a "script kiddie" in this case if you use it.

github activity discounts commits to non-master branches anyway, which is pretty immoral from my point of view.

It'll display correctly once you merge your non-master branches down.

Immoral seems to be a bit of a strong word here. But then I don't use git/github much.

Can you explain?

Alternatively, you could just.. You know.. Actually commit enough work to impress people...

icebraining2• 13 years ago

Who says the point is impressing people?

I always like to take the opportunity to plug my Chrome plugin which makes your Github landing page play Conway's game of life: https://github.com/mk270/life-contributions

Or just do it with a few daily commits, no cheat -- https://github.com/contributions

Same uselessness but, man, the anticipation ;)
