Gitlab 'hacks'

Ever wanted to look 'productive' on Gitlab? Paste this into your console. What are your favourite git related hacks? 😜

colors = [`rgb(172, 213, 242)`,
`rgb(127, 168, 201)`,
`rgb(82, 123, 160)`,
`rgb(37, 78, 119)`]

$(".user-contrib-cell").each(function(){ $(this).attr("fill", colors[Math.floor(Math.random()*colors.length)])})

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

See image below for results!

Graph of pixels representing coding activity on Gitlab homepage, with varying shades of blue. The darker, the more productive.

Why choose a platform when you can have both? 💩

Thanks to lukeshiru for their vanilla javascript solutions + GitHub script!

You have a typo there, it should be colors.length instead of items.length. Also, you could write it with vanilla JS this way:

((colors, query) =>
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(query)).forEach(cell =>
        cell.setAttribute(
            "fill",
            `#${colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)]}`
        )
    ))(["acd5f2", "7fa8c9", "527ba0", "254e77"], ".user-contrib-cell");

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And for GitHub, you can just change the parameters this way:

((colors, query) =>
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(query)).forEach(cell =>
        cell.setAttribute(
            "fill",
            `#${colors[Math.floor(Math.random() * colors.length)]}`
        )
    ))(["c6e48b", "7bc96f", "239a3b", "196127"], ".js-calendar-graph-svg rect");
