    • Use for maintaining a consistent GitHub contribution graph when coding happens on other platforms.

    • Owned by an individual account with only 2 contributors on GitHub; plan for bus-factor risk.

    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Maybe most of your coding happens on another version control host, like GitLab or Bitbucket. Maybe your company uses GitHub Enterprise but hasn't enabled unified contributions. Maybe you're looking for a new software development job and are worried that recruiters will prejudge you by your scarce contribution graph. Or maybe you have other reasons. Whatever the case may be, you've come to the right place.

    If you change your mind about these commits later, you can delete the repository and they'll disappear from your contribution graph.

    If you need help with cron job syntax, crontab guru is a great resource.
