Utilize git-standup to read all your authored contributions on local repositories and generate a GitHub contribution activity for each commit linked to you.
Privacy Focused: The script respects your NDA and privacy by not copying commit content. Instead, it lists all authored commit SHAs and writes them to a file, ensuring a secure process.
This script is designed for situations where your work is not hosted on GitHub. Missing GitHub contributions can misrepresent your activity, especially when working on projects or contracts that use different source control systems.
Note
Should External Contributions Be Included?
The inclusion of external contributions in your GitHub activity is debatable. However, since GitHub allows displaying private contributions, including these can reflect your complete activity.
First, you'll need a git repository where the contributions will be synced.
Create it where you want it (e.g. ~/external-contributions), run git init inside and push your initial commit with an empty file named COMMITS.
Create your repository on GitHub and add it as origin, origin will be automatically synced after each runs.
To sync every commits that you've done in ~/some-project into ~/external-contributions:
npx sync-external-contributions --source ~/some-project --destination ~/external-contributions
Options
--source string[] Source repositories to fetch commits
--destination string Destination repository to sync contributions into
--days number Specify the number of days back to include
--folder-depth Specify the number of subfolders to look for repos in source
--dry-run Will execute script without syncing
--force Force push to the destination (implicit with reset)
--reset Reset the destination repository
--silent Will not prompt
