Build your perfectly disciplined history on Github
Grounded in available product and source data
Build your perfectly disciplined history on Github by making regular commits to one of your repositories.
“Do you remember those good old days when your contribution calendar on GitHub was just a gimmick for us nerds? Now, HRs use it as a dedication and consistency metric for their decisions — like hiring, promoting or even layoffs. It is as dirty as it sounds and should not be tolerated.”
“I have twelve active projects on GitHub, making tens of PR reviews per week, but still my calendar looks desperately empty. I didn't give a damn about it until my last interview. ”
“After two rounds of tech interviews they asked for a digital trail of my online dev activity. I said it was all on-site and under NDA, which is true, but nobody seemed to care. Frustrating.”
Go to your Github and create a new private repository. I will be generating a code-like rubbish, so it's better to keep it private. Don't forget to enable Include private contributions on my profile option on Settings / Public profile.
Next, go to Settings / Developer Settings / Personal access tokens and generate a fine-grained personal access token: set Expiration to a maximum of 1 year, choose Only select repositories in the Repository access section and select your newly created repo. In the Permissions section add Read and Write access for the Contents option.
Click Generate token and copy your new token.
