## What it is
gitfiti is a Python CLI tool that draws pixel art on your GitHub contribution calendar by generating backdated git commits. It produces a bash or PowerShell script that creates commits with forged author/committer dates to fill in each pixel.

## Use cases
- draw pixel art on my github contribution graph
- create graffiti in my commit history
- backdate git commits to fill the contribution calendar
- make a picture appear on my github profile activity
- generate a script of fake past commits

## When to choose
- you want a fun, visual gag on your GitHub profile
- you want to use built-in or custom pixel-art templates
- you're comfortable creating a throwaway repo for the artwork

## When to avoid
- you need genuine, meaningful commit history
- you don't want to create a dedicated repo or wait days for the graph to update
- you need something other than GitHub's contribution calendar

## Facets

- domain: developer-tools, version-control, graphics
