Genius. Stupid. And Genius.

Nice. a video game pixel art take on github profile art. I first saw a proof of concept on Will Leinweber's profile ( https://github.com/will/ ) The downside is the top place in your 'Contributions' feed gets heavily polluted..

Is the left mushroom a 1-up mushroom while the right one a power-up mushroom? I must know! :P

This is fantastic, sorry. For newb question but how do you do inject into guy history like this?

Haven't done so myself - But you can edit a git commit's information (Such as author and date):

Edit: Haven't looked at the repo - But I'm assuming this is what's being done.

It's a Python script that takes in some options (which image, your github username, etc) and generates a bash script. Running the bash script actually makes the commits on the correct days to populate the pixels.

luckily git takes both GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and GIT_COMMITTER_DATE as environment variables. This python script generates a bash script that sets a date and commit one line changes for every pixel that needs some gitfiti.

Ok, it has nothing to do with git but this is my personal contribution to pixel art movement: http://drawbang.com

Brilliant.

Doubly useful seeing as I hardly ever contribute to everything.

Purely awesome.

I found that doing this manually was a pain; I knew someone would eventually write a script for it.

Doesn't your other contributions mess with the pattern ?

I'd expect the script to account for other past contributions. Shouldn't be too hard?!

edit: Well, except of course that it'd be impossible to change past pixels to have less colour. So you're right.

tl;dr it makes your contributions calendar look like this:
