- kanzure 13y agoThere's also these: https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti https://github.com/will https://github.com/will https://github.com/kanzure/streak https://github.com/kanzure/streak
- madsravn 13y agoI was slightly confused when I opened this link. I was pretty sure I didn't click the "Here's the Most Idiotic and Brilliant App Ever " link which also was on the front page at the time.
- arelangi 13y agoAnd, how is this helpful you say?
- delinka 13y agoBy getting you that job with people who put more value on falsifiable data than on actual skill.
- ihsw 13y agoPublic and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill, in fact they're not a measure of anything other than public and open-source contributions. Personally I try to keep all of my work as private as possible. There is no particular reason, I'm just a private person. Do you really want to work for a company that measures competence based on pissing-contest and attention-whoring mentality?
- delinka 13y ago"Public and open-source contributions aren't a measure of skill..." Exactly. Because they're falsifiable. I'd personally rather work for people who value skill, not falsifiable data.
- Mamady 13y agoright but many companies try to take a shortcut - they think the best measure of skill is github. To be fair, it's hard to qualify "skill", so shortcuts are very tempting.
- xr09 13y agoBut that's cheating... Do you want to work for a company that buys this lie and make them believe you are a code machine? That lie WILL bite you in the back some day.
- samspenc 13y agoI think OP is being sarcastic. ;) Though I'm sure some companies may go as far as using this. :[
- ihsw 13y agoPersonally I like to fuck with people who take themselves too seriously, and those companies -- companies that put "fully public, open-source contributions" at the top of their list of desirable (but not mandatory) job postings -- are certainly full of themselves.

- adregan 13y agoIs there a way to tell the most frequent committer on Github? Maybe if there is Github could award a prize every month—a gift certificate to a pizza place maybe? (in secret of course)
- delinka 13y agoHow long before this kind of thing causes GitHub to feel the pressure of a[nother] DoS?
- jonstjohn 13y agoI actually just started a challenge to do 100 commits in 100 days, and I'm up to almost 70 (w/ a streak of 31). This seems so much easier :P
- wereHamster 13y ago> # make a change to file.rb You don't need to change the file to create a commit. Just run this with appropriate range of committer dates: > GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=? git commit --allow-empty;
- Mamady 13y agonice. Learning something new every day :)
- gaelow 13y agoI like it, not because I like cheating but because I think it exemplifies how bullshit this notion that more commits == more commited is, and how it encourages people pulling shit all the time. Even Linus is mad about it xD
