## What it is
A GitHub CLI extension that generates 3D-printable STL files of a user's GitHub contribution graph. It supports single or multi-year ranges, ASCII art previews, and outputs Binary STL files for 3D printing.

## Use cases
- generate a 3D model of my GitHub contribution history
- create an STL file of my contribution graph for 3D printing
- visualize my GitHub contributions as ASCII art in the terminal
- generate a multi-year contribution skyline for any GitHub user
- print a physical trophy of my GitHub activity

## When to choose
- you already use the gh CLI and want a quick extension install
- you want a 3D-printable STL of contribution data
- you want terminal-based ASCII previews of contribution graphs

## When to avoid
- you need interactive 3D visualization in a browser or desktop app
- you don't have the gh CLI installed or authenticated
- you need contribution analytics beyond 3D model generation

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, data-visualization, graphics
- domain: developer-tools, data-visualization
- platform: cli, cross-platform, go
- tags: gh-extension, 3d-printing, stl, contribution-graph, github-cli, command-line
