It can render in the terminal or as an animated SVG for a GitHub profile README, offers 12 visual themes, and can be automated via GitHub Actions to keep the skyline updated as new commits land. ## Content I made a little Go CLI called **Skyline** that turns your GitHub contribution graph into an ASCII city. Each week becomes a building, contribution days light up as windows, and it can render either in your terminal or as an animated SVG for your GitHub profile README. It also has 12 different themes because apparently one neon city was not enough. You can set it up with GitHub Actions so your profile skyline updates automatically as you keep coding. https://github.com/pinkpixel-dev/skyline ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I Turned My GitHub Profile Into a Cyberpunk Console With a City Built From My Contributions](https://daily.dev/posts/i-turned-my-github-profile-into-a-cyberpunk-console-with-a-city-built-from-my-contributions-ynxr8hpgq) · DEV · 6 upvotes · 0 comments - [GitHub Space Shooter: Visualizes GitHub contribution graphs as a Space Shooter](https://daily.dev/posts/github-space-shooter-visualizes-github-contribution-graphs-as-a-space-shooter-a22782txm) · Product Hunt · 90 upvotes · 1 comments - [From pixels to characters: The engineering behind GitHub Copilot CLI’s animated ASCII banner](https://daily.dev/posts/from-pixels-to-characters-the-engineering-behind-github-copilot-cli-s-animated-ascii-banner-by6szkb17) · GitHub Blog · 152 upvotes · 8 comments --- Tags: [#github](https://daily.dev/tags/github), [#golang](https://daily.dev/tags/golang), [#cli](https://daily.dev/tags/cli), [#github-actions](https://daily.dev/tags/github-actions) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/turn-your-github-contribution-graph-into-an-ascii-city-lpdzcn87z) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/turn-your-github-contribution-graph-into-an-ascii-city-lpdzcn87z","headline":"Turn Your GitHub Contribution Graph Into an ASCII City","text":"Skyline is a Go CLI tool that visualizes a GitHub contribution graph as an ASCII city skyline, with each week rendered as a building and contribution days as lit windows.
