🕒 Git Random Commit Generator

This project is a simple Node.js script that creates backdated Git commits with random timestamps between a defined start and end date. It can be useful for:

• Populating your GitHub contribution graph
• Testing Git behavior with historical data
• Learning how to automate Git via Node.js

⚠️ Use responsibly! This script is for educational and testing purposes only.

📦 Features

• Generates random dates
• Commits a JSON file (data.json) with each random date as content
• Commits are made with backdated timestamps using Git’s --date option
• Automatically pushes all commits after completion

---

📋 Requirements

• Node.js (v14+ recommended)
• Git installed and initialized in your project
• A remote Git repository set up (for the final push)

---

🛠️ Setup

1. Clone this repo or copy the script into your own project
2. Install dependencies:

npm i

or

npm install jsonfile moment simple-git random

3. Run the script:

node index.js

You can edit the last line to change the number of commits:

makeCommits(10); // Replace 10 with any number you want

📂 How It Works

1. A random date is generated between the start and end range using moment and random.
2. That date is written into a JSON file (data.json) to simulate a file change.
3. Git stages the file and commits it with a custom --date parameter.
4. After all commits are made, the script performs a git push.

🧠 Example Output

Example console output might look like:

2023-07-14T10:23:00+00:00
2022-11-03T08:45:00+00:00
2024-05-19T17:30:00+00:00
...

These are the commit dates that will show up on your contribution graph.
