## What it is
A Node.js CLI tool that generates pixel-art text or patterns on your GitHub contribution graph by creating backdated commits and optionally pushing them to a repository. It supports custom fonts, patterns, color inversion, flipping, and start dates.

## Use cases
- draw text on my github contribution graph
- create pixel art on github heatmap
- generate backdated commits for contribution calendar
- spray a pattern onto my github profile
- make my github contribution graph say hello
- create custom commit patterns from a json file

## When to choose
- you want to decorate your GitHub contribution graph with text or pixel art
- you want a quick CLI with built-in fonts and custom JSON patterns
- you want commits automatically pushed to a GitHub repository

## When to avoid
- you need real, meaningful commit history - it fabricates backdated commits
- you want to modify contribution data after GitHub records it
- you need a GUI - use the companion GitHub Spray Generator web tool instead
