Third one should be called "A Bot"
100%
My GitHub profile looked like that for a while when I was using my own PAT for a CI step that did repo syncing.
Now a bot account gets all the credit. :(
don't post pictures of my face online, that's rude >:(
In all seriousness I wonder why I always realize I could have explained myself better/left something out/omg formatting error better fix it/holy shit typo after the initial commit, and have like 4 different ones (or a bunch of rebases in an effort to keep the repo clean of this crap) fixing it, instead of pushing just a correct and complete readme from the beginning.
This is also why most of my Lemmy comments have edits. Not some weird sketchy crap editing things in to make others look bad or totally change my point after getting refuted, but just… oops typo or I could reword that to be more understandable or I meant to say this and totally forgot about it.
Big same

Look at this amateur, using a mouse to commit. I have a macro defined just to commit and push as a background job so that I can start editing the README again ASAP.
The worst part? "readme updates" instead of "update readme".

the "does most commits to private repositories" user
you can configure github to paint private repo commits in the tiles, that's what I do, so it almost looks like #3, but less homogeneous.
Kinda, theres a way orgs can now hide the activity. For example, my github:
and then when im logged in:
Im in multiple orgs but the main one is protected.
But GH commit tiles are a silly metric anyways.
Thanks, I didn’t know that. For others also wondering how: https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/managing-contribution-settings-on-your-profile/showing-your-private-contributions-and-achievements-on-your-profile
I’m the “makes commits to Azure DevOps because that’s what his company uses” user, so mine looks a lot like number 4.

The “my company works with bitbucket or gitlab”.
I’m the release manager for my company. I’d have so many fucking contributions 😅
What's a mondrian
An abstract painter whose thing was overlaid rectangles in prime colors.
I'm number 4, but instead of looking for a job, the pattern is subject to my crippling depression. Most of the time I simply feel that it's pointless to work on my projects, so I don't :(
I see the point in my projects yet I am frustrated and depressed by my perceived lack of progress.
Want to start a project and procrastinate on it together?
I don't see the point of anything anymore, you folks need a community manager?
I’ve made up more names for new projects than what I have actually written code for. Yall looking for a product owner?

Wheres the fucker who made loss in his commits
git commit -m ~~.:|:;~~
The Weekender is also anyone working professionally. You can't stick any of your real work on public github.
Github has an option to show private commits in these graphs though
Yup, but you might have another GitHub account!
#3 is my script that converts one particular RSS feed to .ical format, and pushes it to a repo, because setting up a website for one silly script was overkill.
#3 is actually impossible because the color gradient is relative and dynamic, is it not?
I wish I saw a GitHub wizard in the wild
Where's "I get paid for my code and when I want to do something open source I make a new account and forget about it afterwards?"
Having multiple accounts is against their TOS
"One person or legal entity may maintain no more than one free Account (if you choose to control a machine account as well, that's fine, but it can only be used for running a machine)."
Which is absolutely stupid. I should be able to separate my work commits from my personal commits.
That said in practice, I'm guessing this is only enforced if they detect you abusing their services.
Work commit are not supposed to be made with a free account. This only says that you can't have multiple free accounts.
Are you the guy I've been trying to contact for months? Is this why the person with a single repo is never active?
what's the rationale of creating a new account? Just for using a pseudonym, or something else?
I think the use case is simply separating your professional code from your personal code. I don't need interviewers seeing my throwaway projects.
Yup. Officially, last I checked, GitHub encouraged people to use a single account for everything. But I wish they'd at least let people create multiple "personas" on the same account, along the lines of "Notorious Open Source Hacker Alias" vs "Random Code Monkey On Corporate Gig".
For me, it's contributing to open source projects that are for NSFW things, stashdb specifically.
Where weekdayer
Needs one that's like #4 from January to September, labelled: "Fuck Github and anything else owned my Microsoft".

My personal is shit, my work account though is lit like a Christmas tree but I can't use that on an application and contrary to popular belief, I don't always feel like spending all night coding after spending all day coding
People who work at Apple: Completely Blank
Wish it would include commits of our closed Gitlab instance on Github, then I wouldn’t be #4
