bcanseco / github-contribution-graph-action Goto Github PK

CUSTOM_TEXT is currently out of scope for a feature request because the proposed solution of deleting the entire repo and recreating it for the correct contribution history on a repo is outside the permissions of GITHUB_TOKEN. However, I think it's a super cool idea & I'd love to explore it more.

Unfortunately though, commits made on a GitHub repository will always show on the graph even if those commits are later removed through a force push.

According to the github contribution docs the commits that are counted in the graph are "in the repository's default branch". My first thought was that the commit history could be added to a different branch that replaces the repo's default branch, then the original default branch is deleted.

However: at a glance, it does not seem that the token is allowed to delete anything whatsoever? And It's unclear if it's allowed to change the default branch of a repo. 🤔

Using below config, the server is sending thousands of commits in less than 2 minutes.:

# .github/workflows/main.yml

on:
  push:
    branches: [ master ]

jobs:
  backfill-commits:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: bcanseco/github-contribution-graph-action@master
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        GIT_EMAIL: [email protected] # replace me
        MAX_DAYS: 365
        MIN_COMMITS_PER_DAY: 1
        MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY: 5

Expected: Maximum of 5 commits.
Tested using v1.1.0 and v1.2.0

'backfill-commits' fails because there is no remote branch 'master' to clone in new repositories:

warning: Could not find remote branch master to clone.
fatal: Remote branch master not found in upstream origin

im using back fill graph action. after the fist commit the workflow starts and then ends successfully but after an interval it starts again and then again , it keeps on committing

im using this code below
` on: push

jobs:
backfill-commits:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: bcanseco/github-contribution-graph-action@v2
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
GIT_EMAIL: [email protected] # replace me
MAX_DAYS: 365
MIN_COMMITS_PER_DAY: 1
MAX_COMMITS_PER_DAY: 5
