### github_heatmap_writer.py
#
# Overview:
# This script will let you write short phrases on your Github contributions
# heatmap on your profile for a particular year. It does this by modifying the
# commit date/time.
#
# Usage:
# - Make a Github repo (public or private) and clone it locally.
# - Modify this script to specify what year you want to display on and what
# you want to show.
# - Run this script from within the Github repo.
#
# Tested on python3.8, for an example output, see the following:
# https://github.com/conor-f?tab=overview&from=1970-12-01&to=1970-12-31
