## 🚀 Introduction
FakeHub is a **fake Git/GitHub history generator** powered by [**libgit2**](https://libgit2.org/) and written entirely in **Rust**🦀. It creates a repository (`fakehub_repo` by default) and fills it with a **completely artificial commit history**.

⚠ **This project is made as a joke!** Use it at your own risk. 😆

## 🛠 Usage

FakeHub provides multiple options to customize commit generation.

### **Basic Usage**
```sh
fakehub [OPTIONS]
```

### **Options Explained**

- `-d, --dir <DIRECTORY>`  
  Specifies the directory where the fake Git repository will be created.
  
- `-s, --start <START_DATE>`  
  Defines the start date for commit generation. Must be in the format `DD-MM-YYYY`.
  
- `-e, --end <END_DATE>`  
  Specifies the end date for commit generation, also in `DD-MM-YYYY` format.
  
- `-b, --back <DAYS_BACK>`  
  Instead of setting explicit start and end dates, this option generates commits for a specified number of days back from the current date.
  
- `-r, --range-start <COMMIT_RANGE_START>`  
  Sets the minimum number of commits to generate per day (default: `5`).
  
- `-x, --range-end <COMMIT_RANGE_END>`  
  Sets the maximum number of commits per day (default: `10`).
  
- `-q, --fixed-number <FIXED_NUMBER>`  
  Generates a fixed number of commits per day, overriding `--range-start` and `--range-end` (default: `5`).
  
- `-h, --help`  
  Displays help information.
  
- `-V, --version`  
  Prints the current version of FakeHub.
  
### **Example Usages**

1. **Generate commits from a fixed date range:**
   ```sh
   fakehub --start 01-01-2023 --end 31-12-2023
   ```

2. **Generate commits for the last 90 days with a variable range of 3-8 commits per day:**
   ```sh
   fakehub --back 90 --range-start 3 --range-end 8
   ```

3. **Generate exactly 10 commits per day for the past 30 days:**
   ```sh
   fakehub --back 30 --fixed-number 10
   ```
