Random Git Commit Generator

This script generates random commits in a Git repository over a specified date range. It creates or modifies a file and commits the changes with random timestamps, simulating activity over time.

Features

• Generates random commit timestamps between two specified dates.
• Ensures commits are made in chronological order.
• Simulates weekend activity with reduced commit probability.
• Initializes a Git repository if one doesn't exist.
• Uses tqdm to display a progress bar during commit creation.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Git
• tqdm Python package

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Silverbrain/mess-with-github.git
   cd mess-with-github
   

2. Install the required Python package:

   pip install tqdm
   

Usage

   cd mess-with-github
   

2. Run the script:

   python main.py
   

Script Details

Functions

• random_date(start, end) Generates a random datetime between two datetime objects.

• create_random_commit(start_date, end_date, commit_count, timezone="0000") Creates a specified number of random commits between start_date and end_date.

• get_random_commit_count(date) Determines the number of random commits to create for a given date, simulating reduced activity on weekends.

Main Execution

1. Defines the start date with setting the date and delta variable accordingly to calculates the number of days to the current date.
2. Initializes a Git repository if one doesn't exist.
3. Iterates over each day in the date range, determining the number of commits for each day and creating them.

Customization

• Start and End Dates: Modify the date variable in the __main__ block to change the start date.

• Time Zone: Adjust the TZ variable to set a different time zone for the commit timestamps.
