By the way, I love this script. Excellent work!

Also, it should be noted that many people are going to have issues with their commits being seen by GitHub if their email isn't configured properly for GitHub. I know this, because it happened to me.

I found that manually adding this line (with email replaced with my own) to line 1 fixed the issue.

git config --global user.email "email@example.com"

Also, that only seems to work if I move git push origin master to line 21.

Just thought I'd mention it!

@pshah123 thanks for this!

I updated it a bit so that you don't have to hardcode the year and it will just use date +"%Y" to get current year and placed all the years directories into one directory to be deleted.

Cheers!

I added a bit of functionality to it that ensures a random number of commits is placed in. When I first ran the original script it was showing 12 commits on each day.
for Y in {2016..2018} do mkdir $Y cd $Y for M in {01..12} do mkdir $M cd $M for D in {01..30} do mkdir $D cd $D for i in $(seq 1 $((1 + RANDOM % 10))) do echo "$i on $M/$D/$Y" > commit.md export GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$Y-$M-$D 12:$i:00" export GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="$Y-$M-$D 12:$i:00" git add commit.md -f git commit --date="$Y-$M-$D 12:0$i:00" -m "$i on $M $D $Y" done cd ../ done cd ../ done cd ../ done git push origin master git rm -rf 20** git commit -am "cleanup" git push origin master

@pshah123 I just read your article here https://hackernoon.com/how-to-hack-github-kind-of-12b08a46d02e and want to thank you for this. I want to know if there is any video tutorial for this?

Big thanks to those who have updated the script over time!

@rahulxdd I don't currently have any video tutorial unfortunately.

Obviously this is just a joke, but I'd be terrified to run a script that creates so many files and nested directories unnecessarily. If all you care about is the commit history visible from your profile, you can achieve the same effect without creating any files or directories. The only thing that matters is the number of commits each day (relative to the amount you normally make). For example:

#!/usr/bin/bash

START_Y=1999
END_Y=$(date +%Y)

for Y in $(eval "echo {$START_Y..$END_Y}"); do
    for M in {01..12}; do
        for D in {01..31}; do
            for i in {01..12}; do
                GIT_AUTHOR_DATE="$Y-$M-$D $i:00:00" GIT_COMMITTER_DATE="$Y-$M-$D $i:00:00" git commit --allow-empty -m "$i on $M $D $Y"
            done
        done
    done
done
git push origin master

git push origin master

But does this script makes a commit everyday without running it more than once?

@rahulxdd Yes. It makes 12 commits per day for however many years it is configured, same as the original script.

brbsix I have just sent an email to you, I'd really appreciate it if you could please take a look and reply. You gave me two github resources where I could find a better way to do what I was trying to do with this script.

I am sorry to bother you again @brbsix. Could you please resend the email which you sent last week in response to my query? I accidently deleted it after reading it and now can't find in trash. Please
