Maintain bathroom tile developer status when working in multiple git hubs.

This repo provides:

1. A Go command (at ./get_history) that fetches git activity from Github, Gitlab, and Forgejo
2. A Hugo partial and shortcode that generates a git styled heatmap from it

Dependencies

• Go
• Hugo

User Guide

Running activity collection

To run the go script to get activity history you can just do

go run forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/hugo-unified-git-activity/get_history@latest -o /path/to/hugo/static

This requires the following environment variables to be defined:

GH_API_KEY=
FJ_API_KEY=
FJ_USER=
FJ_URL= //Optional: defaults to codeberg.org
GL_API_KEY= //Optional: default to gitlab.com
GL_USER=
GL_URL=

Environment variables can be placed in a .env script wherever you are running the go command from. If you don't define environment variables, it will just skip that hub. Example, if any FJ_* variable is undefined then the forgejo portion will be skipped.

Hugo shortcode

First add this module to your hugo.toml

# edit hugo.toml
[module]
[[module.imports]]
path = 'forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/hugo-unified-git-activity'

Then run hugo mod get -u to pull the latest version. You should now be able to add the heatmap to your site using either a shortcode in the markdown, e.g.

or as a partial to your html templates:

{{ partial "git-heatmap.html" . }}

You can configure the colors and captions, see the example from my site's configuration below:

[params.heatmap]
caption = "This is my unified git heatmap from my <a href='https://forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov'>Forgejo</a> and <a href='https://github.com/aselimov'>Github</a>"
color_empty_light = "#e8e4dc"
color_empty_dark = "#2a2a2a"
color_max = "#7a5010"
color_high = "#C47E1A"
color_mid = "#EF9F27"
color_low = "#F7C46A"
swap_colors = true # Optional, defaults to true

The colors swap, color_low <--> color_max, color_mid <--> color_high based on a @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark/light) query. Set swap_colors = false to keep the same low-to-max color order regardless.

Keeping activity in-sync

I host my site (and some other self-hosted stuff) on a Vultr vps. To keep my activity in sync, I just set up a cron job that does:

*/30 * * * * go run forge.alexselimov.com/aselimov/hugo-unified-git-activity/get_history@latest -o /var/www/alexselimov.com/activity.json

If you aren't on a VPS and using actions to deploy your site (that's how I deploy my personal blog), you can just add an action to update your static/activity.json and deploy however often you want.

Important Notes

• I originally wrote it in Typescript but thought go would be better to distribute to Hugo users (since you probably already have go installed) so the go version is a completely vibed port. I didn't look at the code, but it's probably fine?
• Private repo contributions are tracked, but they are anonymized in the activity.json. It shows up as "private": "<count>".
• I added Gitlab functionality but, I don't use Gitlab so it may have issues. I set up a test account and did a quick test to make sure a new commit showed up, but good likelihood of edge cases.
• The activity script will deduplicate based on repo name. Example: You have a repo named cool-project on with 1 Github contribution, 8 Forgejo contributions, and 1 Gitlab contribution. This code will grab the daily activity for that project across all providers and pick the highest value for the day, 8.
