greenhat is a Python script that decorates your GitHub contribution calendar by generating backdated commits for the past n days using GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE environment variables. It is a quick hack that will clobber your repository's commit history.

Use cases

• fill in my GitHub contribution graph with green squares
• make my GitHub profile look active with backdated commits
• generate fake commits for the past year on GitHub
• decorate my GitHub contribution calendar
• backdate git commits to appear in the past

When to choose

• you want to fill gaps in your GitHub contribution calendar with commits
• you want a simple one-script hack with no dependencies
• you understand it will rewrite your repository's commit history

When to avoid

• you need to preserve your repository's real commit history
• you want genuine activity tracking rather than cosmetic commits
• you need a maintained or supported tool for production use
