What is a GitHub contribution graph?
A GitHub contribution graph is the grid of little green squares on a profile — one square per day, shaded from empty to dark green based on how many commits, pull requests, issues, and reviews you made that day. It's become shorthand for 'how active is this developer', which is exactly why people want to design their own. This fake GitHub contribution graph generator gives you that grid as a blank canvas: you decide which days are filled and how dark each square is, then export it as an image. Nothing is fetched from a real GitHub account, and nothing is committed anywhere — every square is yours to place.
Why make a fake contribution graph?
People use a fake contribution graph for all sorts of honest reasons: mocking up a portfolio or résumé slide, illustrating a blog post or tutorial about GitHub, making 'commit art' where the green squares spell out a word, building a before/after for a talk, or just making a fun meme about coding streaks. Because you paint every square, you can show a perfect year, a realistic ramp-up, a broken streak, or your name written in commits. It's a design tool, not a way to deceive anyone into thinking a real account is more active than it is.
How the generator works
Open the editor and a full year of squares loads instantly. Left-click or drag across the grid to fill squares — each click cycles through GitHub's five green levels — or right-click to lighten them. Type a short word or number in the Prefill box and it renders as pixel-art across the weeks, the classic commit-art look. Pick a preset like Ramp up for an instant streak, switch between the trailing twelve months and any calendar year back to 2021, choose GitHub's light or dark palette, and the contribution count updates automatically from the squares you fill. When it looks right, export a high-resolution PNG — free, no sign-up, no watermark.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about the generator.
What is a fake GitHub contribution graph generator?
It's a free tool that draws a GitHub-style contribution graph — the grid of green squares — exactly how you want it. Paint the squares, write text into them, set the contribution count and year, then export a PNG. Nothing is pulled from a real account; you design every square yourself.
How do I make a fake GitHub contribution chart?
Open the editor, click or drag across the squares to fill them (each click cycles through GitHub's five green levels), or type a word to render it as pixel art in the grid. Pick a preset like Ramp up for an instant streak, set the year, choose light or dark, and export.
Can I write text in the contribution graph?
Yes — type any short word or number in the Prefill box and it renders as pixel art across the weeks (about 8–10 characters fit). It's the classic 'commit art' look, without hand-committing anything.
How is the contribution count calculated?
The count adds up automatically from the squares you fill — each shade contributes a plausible number of commits, so a fuller, darker graph shows a higher total. GitHub's shades are relative buckets, so the count is an estimate, matching how the real graph reads.
Is it free? Is there a watermark?
Completely free, no sign-up. Export a high-resolution PNG with no watermark — great for slides, READMEs, portfolios, memes, and social posts.
What is this used for?
For fun, storytelling, mockups, and design — showing what an active year could look like, making commit-art wordmarks, or illustrating an article. It's not for deceiving anyone into thinking it's a real account.
