177 Days of GitHub
- goldenkey 13y ago1337 commit to top it off.. I like this more than the bots that draw pretty pixel art using fake commits.
- berrypicker 13y agoCan you link to such a bot please?
- adparadox 13y agohttps://github.com/akre54 https://github.com/akre54 has some GitHub art.
- aram 13y agoHere's one: https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti
- jbranchaud 13y agoI made this one https://github.com/jbranchaud/commitart https://github.com/jbranchaud/commitart
- seivan 13y agoI'm just on 162, planning on topping that next year :)
- vignesh_vs_in 13y agoMy streak lasted 14 days. It was sadly broken because github used US time and my commit late night(Indian time) and the next day morning was grouped to the same day(US Day) :(.

- ryanseys 13y agoI'm the author (not OP). I'm glad to see so much love for this post! :) If you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them here, on my blog, or email me at ryan@ryanseys.com
- ryanlitalien 13y agoThanks for the inspiration. After reading your post, I'm now on a current streak of 30 days and am using the "don't break the chain" philosophy for things other than coding.
- ck2 13y agoWe need a "random acts of code".
- jsoo4 13y agoNumber of days worked is mostly irrelevant. Ass-in-seat mentality is the road to mediocrity.
- ggreer 13y agoIt would be fun if GitHub let me include private repositories in my public stats. Not everyone works solely on open source software, and the leaked information isn't particularly sensitive. If you count private repos, my streak is getting rather ridiculous. 307 days so far: http://geoff.greer.fm/images/github_streak.png http://geoff.greer.fm/images/github_streak.png
- zsiciarz 13y ago284 days in my streak, only public repos. https://github.com/zsiciarz https://github.com/zsiciarz
- GhotiFish 13y ago... mmm hm. your graph looks similar to the authors. Huge sprawling areas of meaningless changes, punctuated by actual work, which more or less was consistent throughout history. Do you feel this is a meaningful metric?
- LoonyPandora 13y agoI totally agree about the private repo thing. In fact I emailed them and they added to their Feature Request List™ I suggest you email <support@github.com> to let them know more than one person would like the feature :)
- seniorsassycat 13y agoI didn't realise github didn't show private activity until after bragging to a friend about my thirty day streak, only to realise he only saw a four day streak.
- turshija 13y agoThen it would be much easier to "cheat" the streak thingy, just make private repo and a script to make and push a XXX number of commits, each one with different timestamp and random data inside.
- yaph 13y ago
- KyeRussell 13y agoI went through the guy's history and found a fair few BS commits. Quantity is not at all quality. This entire commit epenis measurement thing is ridiculous.
- peterkelly 13y agoYou should aim for quality, not quantity.
- Griever 13y agoJust hit day 50! I think GitHub could really do some awesome things with that little contribution grid. And yes, having private repo's show as green-blocks is kinda crucial imo. I recently had a potential employer take a look at my account and mentioned how I have only made "a few" commits to my GitHub repos when I had stated that I am constantly working on stuff.
- blt 13y agoMan, I like coding, but not enough to do it for 177 straight days. Life should get in the way sometimes.
- mgraczyk 13y agoThis is pretty silly. I make contributions to my dotfiles repository almost every day, but I don't think that's a good thing. It just means I still haven't gotten my setup right. I am far more proud of commits that solve blocking issues for other people than I am of the plethora of minor changes and additions to personal projects.
- biosx 13y agoAgreed. At first, I was excited because I thought the author contributed to open source projects for 177 days straight. However, after learning that many of the commits were to his personal website, my enthusiasm quickly faded. Number of commits is a vanity metric.
- mfkp 13y agoLongest streak I know of - my friend Mahmoud is up to 297 days (for public projects): https://github.com/mahmoud https://github.com/mahmoud
- karangoeluw 13y agoMy 130-day current streak: https://github.com/thekarangoel/ https://github.com/thekarangoel/
- chrismcb 13y agoThis has to be the stupidest reason to make a commit "to keep some stupid streak going." Commit because you've made a decent change, not because you haven't committed in the last 24 hours.
