GitHub Heatmap Text (GHHT)

Pretend the green squares on GitHub heatmaps are pixels and "render" text on them with this useless Python package.

Install

python3 -m pip install --user https://github.com/matiaslindgren/ghht/archive/v0.5.2.zip

Examples

python3 -m ghht -h

Git commits

Create an empty directory (or use an existing git repo) and fill it with some commits:

mkdir commit-sink
python3 -m ghht "hello." 2015 --pad-left 8 --git-repo ./commit-sink

Then push commit-sink to a repository on GitHub.

ASCII output

Run with --ascii to print results to stdout instead of generating commits.

python3 -m ghht 'haha wow! :DDD' 2014 --ascii

Output:
