Section titled “Git Draw”Allows you to draw in your GitHub heatmap
Created by Ben Friedland - http://www.bugben.com
Section titled “Created by Ben Friedland - http://www.bugben.com”This is a Chrome extension which will allow you to freely draw on your GitHub heatmap. You can then export your drawing to a script containing a git commit log. Once you’ve run and pushed this script to a new repository, your commit log will match the drawing you made.
Download the extension here:

Instructional Video
Section titled “Instructional Video”My Brother, Rich Friedland, made a comprehensive video on how to use the extension.

Why not a bookmarklet?
Section titled “Why not a bookmarklet?”Because CSP. GitHub’s CSP policy makes a bookmarklet next to impossible. There’s a workaround involving injecting code into a canvas and then executing it from there, but that feels like something that’ll be fixed. A Chrome extension makes it easier. Once you’re done making your drawing, just uninstall the extension.
