FakeHub is a fake Git/GitHub history generator powered by libgit2 and written entirely in Rust🦀. It creates a repository (fakehub_repo by default) and fills it with a completely artificial commit history.

⚠ This project is made as a joke! Use it at your own risk. 😆

FakeHub provides multiple options to customize commit generation.

fakehub [OPTIONS]

• -d, --dir <DIRECTORY>
  Specifies the directory where the fake Git repository will be created.

• -s, --start <START_DATE>
  Defines the start date for commit generation. Must be in the format DD-MM-YYYY.

• -e, --end <END_DATE>
  Specifies the end date for commit generation, also in DD-MM-YYYY format.

• -b, --back <DAYS_BACK>
  Instead of setting explicit start and end dates, this option generates commits for a specified number of days back from the current date.

• -r, --range-start <COMMIT_RANGE_START>
  Sets the minimum number of commits to generate per day (default: 5).

• -x, --range-end <COMMIT_RANGE_END>
  Sets the maximum number of commits per day (default: 10).

• -q, --fixed-number <FIXED_NUMBER>
  Generates a fixed number of commits per day, overriding --range-start and --range-end (default: 5).

• -h, --help
  Displays help information.

• -V, --version
  Prints the current version of FakeHub.

1. Generate commits from a fixed date range:

   fakehub --start 01-01-2023 --end 31-12-2023

2. Generate commits for the last 90 days with a variable range of 3-8 commits per day:

   fakehub --back 90 --range-start 3 --range-end 8

3. Generate exactly 10 commits per day for the past 30 days:

   fakehub --back 30 --fixed-number 10
