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

说明与用途

作者创建了一个动态 GIF 鲸鱼，随着年度 GitHub 提交量增长并根据主语言着色，每天通过 GitHub Actions 更新。

问题

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

结果

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

工作流

• 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

证据

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

The loop is 48 frames at 15 FPS (3.2 seconds). A traveling S‑wave bends the torso and drives the tail
