Hack Github Contribution Graph in 20 seconds 😎

Few lines of JS code is all you need to hack your Github Contribution Graph. In this video, I will cover up step by step code to achieve that. I’ll show you how you can fake Github commit and make your Github Commit Graph look like a pro.
Do you want to be the cool kid at school? Or just want to have some fun with Github using Javascript code? Do watch this video till the end and code along with me. Using a few npm packages and create a lot of fake commits on a back date is all is that we do in this video about Faking Github Commit.
Subscribe for all updates: kzbin.info...
We will create a lot of commits, modify their dates, and push it on Github to a private repo. Github then generates a Contribution Graph accordingly. You can even make creative art on your Github profile. Do check out my GitHub profile for one such.
The more commits we make on the same date, the deeper the color becomes. You can even add different shades to the Github commit contribution graph. So watch the video and code along with me for more fun.

[@satyadeepsharma8883]

Hi Akshay, superb video!! though I have one doubt as you used a callbak in writeFile can we not use writeFileSync and use simpleGit().add([FILE_PATH]).commit(DATE, {'--date': DATE}).push(); line after that. Will it work the same way internally?

[@balajisv4052]

The feel of seeing the successful output of the code we wrote is always awesome, right. I could see that in your face. You make awesome stuff, and take lots of pain to make the video, the pre works, the post works, and a lot. I've always struggled to make such quality videos like these, as my machine hangs, after a few minutes of screen recording, or editing. It would be so helpful if you could suggest me any kind of video editor, and software for screen recorder.

[@akshaymarch7]

I use QuickTime Player for recording screen, phone for recording myself and iMovie for editing everything. I hope this helps Balaji. All the best!

can i use this to shows that my friends also contribute to a specific repository of mine? I've been carrying this school project but I want my friends to share credit with me. But it'd be suspicious if the github graphs only show that I do most of the works on the repository. So i want to also fake my friends' contributions

Thank you bro.. Just one Question - Can we revert this if we dont want after this commit ?? Just delete the Repo ?

Everyone can't get it please make another video for beginners.I tried by copying your files and so on but didn't work in the end.

[@taborturtle]

So it didn't work for me, sort of. It did the initial commit and push, but then that was it. It wouldn't push anything after that. I tried different dates, different data, but it wouldn't push the new stuff up to my account. The data.json file would update so I know that part worked. For some reason the simple-git line of code wasn't doing it's job after the first time. Anybody have an answer to that?

Same happened with me also.

It works perfectly fine. Just try to debug your code. :)

[@bikramjethi930]

It will work perfectly fine just add your email that you use for github to the git config in the repo. You can do this via : git config user.email "[e-mail]" and then the past commits will be recorded as well.

Hey, I didn't understand recursive call using bind(). Can someone explain me.

The bind here is returning a new function with the same context and a preset value of n--. Since it's a call back once the commit is successful this new returned function is called automatically.
