Gaming the github streak
On 29th November I did something (un)cool - I cheated.
If you’ve been on github, you must be aware of the feature called “Streak” - it is the no. of days you’ve committed continuously.
This is how my record used to look (notice the two blank days in october) before 29th.
After I played with it:
As is clearly visible, my longest streak increased from 9 to 17. Yipee!
All I did was change my system date to 7th October, commit some code and upload to Github and when that worked; I repeated the process for 8th of october.
