GameOfGithubLife

Play Conway's game of life in Github. Each step is represented as a year in your contributions calendar.

This gem has no purpose and does not solve any problem. It's just another way to abuse previous date committing.

It's not a new idea to automatically create commits from the past, here's similar projects I found:

• gelstudios/gitfiti
• IonicaBizau/github-contributions

$ gem install game_of_github_life

Create a github repository.

Create local git repository and specify a remote.

$ git init
$ git remote add origin git@github.com:your_github_account/your_repository.git

Start game. Specify local path to repository (.) and ending year (2008). The game will start playing from 1970. It will end before ending year.

$ game_of_github_life . 2008

Wait until the script prints done.

See your contribution history from 1970.
