I built a pixel-art whale that grows with your GitHub commits

Описание и применение

Пользователь создал динамический GIF‑тулкун, который растёт в зависимости от количества коммитов в текущем году и окрашивается по языкам, обновляясь ежедневно через GitHub Actions.

Задача

GitHub profile READMEs are static and often filled with badges; the author wanted a dynamic visual that reflects real activity.

Результат

The whale grows from a baby calf to an adult male bull over the year, updating daily without bloating the main branch.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Add embed snippet to README
• 2. Create .github/workflows/tulkun.yml that runs daily
• 3. GitHub Action fetches contributions via GraphQL, generates GIF, PNG, and share‑card.png
• 4. Action pushes assets to an orphan output branch
• 5. README displays the GIF

Доказательства

A procedural pixel‑art Tulkun leviathan for your GitHub profile README that resets to a baby calf every January 1st, grows on a logarithmic scale into an armored adult bull from your contributions
