Draw an image on your GitHub contribution graph.

## How does it work?

GitHub displays commits in the contribution history graph. Contribution pushes 
a bunch of commits with a custom date using `git commit --date <date>`. It 
bundles multiple commits on a single day to achieve a darker pixel in the graph.

The GitHub contribution graph is 52 × 7 pixels and shows up to five shades for
activity. This app automatically limits the colors and dimensions of your input 
image to match these restrictions. Use the [preview](#contribution-preview--help) 
subcommand if you're not feeling lucky.

Warning: you cannot remove contribution activity on GitHub unless you delete a 
project, so you probably want to push to a project specifically created for 
this purpose. Contributions to secret projects may also be shown, depending on 
your GitHub settings.

Contribution uses your default SSH settings and global Git user, which can be 
tested with `ssh -T git@github.com` and `git config --global user.email`. If you 
prefer to use another identity, set `GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -i /other/id_rsa'` and 
`git config --global user.email "other@example.org"`.

## Download

You can find prebuilt binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux in 
[releases](https://github.com/blaise-io/contribution/releases/latest).

Or clone the project and build yourself.

If you don't have Paint installed you can use a free online tool like 
[pixilart.com](https://www.pixilart.com/draw).

## How to use

Contribution is provided as a binary with a command line interface.
