For those who cant access their profile because it needs auth.

Because visiting

sync-graph/src/script.js

Line 58 in ca5dcb2

const url = `https://github.com/${username}?tab=overview&from=${from}&to=${to}`;

didn't work for me since it requires a strict 2FA , What I did instead was manually visited my profile page and copied the entire html and saved it to an html file sibling to the script.js file. And then I modified the function a bit to just read the file directly instead of using fetchPageWithPuppeteer.

import { promises as fs } from 'fs';
import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';

// Get the __dirname equivalent for ESM
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);

export async function generateCommitScript({ username, minYear, maxYear }) {
  const commitData = new Map();

  // Construct the path to the sibling test.html file
  const filePath = path.join(__dirname, 'test.html');

  // Read the content of the test.html file
  const hardcodedPage = await fs.readFile(filePath, 'utf8');

    const datesForYear = extractCommitDates({ html: hardcodedPage });
    datesForYear.forEach((count, date) => commitData.set(date, count));


  writeScriptFile({ commitData: commitData });
}

Although I am having trouble with the commit signature because even if I set the username and email identical to my personal github that I want my commits to be registered in,

git config user.name "apappas1129"
git config user.email "[email protected]"

it didn't actually display the commits as if with the link and photo of my profile. Instead it just looked like this:

instead of something like this:

I opened a PR #5 to address the issue described above regarding author and committer not linked to the primary account even with the correct git config.

I will review the PR, and if everything looks great, I'll proceed with the merge. :)

Thank you for wanting to improve the project; I truly appreciate it.

[apappas1129]

Thank you! I initially considered adding an option for users to manually create the HTML file as I did above. However, I realized that this would introduce additional complexity to the tool, which I want to avoid. . If I find the time, I’ll explore creating a separate tool based on this repo to specifically support those manual steps only.

I just made a silly mistake on expecting the commits to be counted as contribution when pushed on the forked repo

It seems that to create an actual repo for this to work. Might want to indicate this in the Readme @isturiz

[isturiz]

Yes, that's exactly why I created the repository as a template, so that anyone can use it without encountering that issue.

GitHub doesn't offer many alternatives for syncing commits, and some of the solutions tend to be quite tricky. When I created the project, I tried to keep it as simple as possible and focused on what really matters; however, I think that despite being a simple solution to the initial problem, it still lacks clarity and elegance. I’m aware it can be somewhat confusing.

I have limited time available (only weekends) to dedicate to open source/personal projects; if you'd like, any improvement to the README is welcome.

I have several ideas that have yet to be developed:

• Improve the README (add clarity)
• Add unit tests
• Improve the CLI

[isturiz]

Btw, I noticed that you created a similar repository, Git Synced. I've added it to the README in a new section called "Similar Tools." 🙌🏻
