I think aligning the months to the left would make it clearer when it starts and ends.

That’s a good point, thanks! I completely overlooked that when copying the original. I’ll fix that when I get the chance 
Nice work. Maybe one more level for scaling could help highlight contributions in the middle.

Great suggestion! I’m using five colors like GitHub for now, but I can adjust for more or fewer colors. I picked random colors from a color picker, but there might be a more effective way to choose colors that contrast better.
Is that global warming, or were you just super busy in July?

July is what happens when the project deadline is looming and half the team is on leave 
This looks like Ben10 versus Red Ben10.
I wanted to show the GitHub contribution graph on my personal portfolio website. I found some decent components, but most seemed static and lacked tooltip support. I built my own version with functional tooltips that I think looks pretty nice.
For the tech side, I pull data from GitHub’s GraphQL API since their REST endpoint doesn’t reveal contribution data. The heatmap uses Apache ECharts, which has a fantastic heatmap component. I’ve set it up to resemble GitHub’s graph, aside from some color changes. I also tried a circular dot design, but the square design looked better.

That’s a fantastic idea, well done! Also, your portfolio is impressive—very organized and clear. It’s an inspiration as I work on my own.

The red color feels ominous. It resembles a pandemic heatmap or robots taking over, or maybe just the number of dependencies added to a project.
The GitHub graph is giving off evil vibes.
I’m guessing there were a lot of small commits in your own projects?
Really cool!
You should think about enabling the activity overview on your profile

Yes, most of those commits are from my private repos on my own projects.
I should mention that I have some automated projects that commit to my GitHub account via the API or SSH. For instance, I have a repo that creates a custom IPTV list by combining various lists, which triggers an update commit every three days.
Haha! But is this code available on GitHub?
Cool project! I didn’t know this data was available in the API. I can’t wait to make one for my smart home dashboard.
Can you change the color of those, or does it happen automatically? Red looks cool.
