Where is README_ja.md?

Don't worry, sir great Google Translate helps you.

What's this?

Recently, I've heard that now recruiters are picking up skilled engineers by checking an activity graph as known as a green lawn on their GitHub profile page. So that I guess that if we write a job hunting message on the lawn as a canvas, recruiters will think that engineer is so cool, and contact you immediately.

Yes, just like this.

How to build

Install other package(s)

$ go get gopkg.in/yaml.v2
$ go build

How can I use this?

Install

First, you need to install git. And then, download from the links below.

Please don't forget put these into the PATH enabled directory.

Create a new repository on your GitHub account

Go to github.com and create a repository used to draw the text. Any name is good for that.

Clone the repository

$ git clone <your repo url>

Make sure that git config user.name and user.email are valid, and the current branch is the default branch of this repository.

Create some files into the repository directory

• a file used to draw the text, the default is grass.txt
  • a text contained in this file must be expressed in 50x7 cells, using 0 and 1. 1 indicated the foreground value, and 0 is the background one.
• a file used to put commit messages. The default is message.txt
  • the file must contain at least one message.

See githib.com/qb0C80aE/jobhunting/grass.txt and githib.com/qb0C80aE/jobhunting/message.txt as samples.

Just execute jobhunting in the repository directory

$ jobhunting

If you have already worked on GitHub and contributed to something, the lawn will be normalized. In this case, you can use -s option to emphasize your text by committing given times.

$ jobhunting -s 50

It will commit 50 times per cell.

Just push

$ git push origin master

Now check your GitHub profile.

How can I change the job hunting message?

Just in case, I've prepared a special service for you. Try this:

$ curl "https://texttobinary.herokuapp.com/proxyart?bg=0&fg=1&size=10&text=JOBHUNTING"

Then you can get an output like below.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Just remove head and tail two lines each, and copy the content left into your grass file.

Do I have to destroy and create the text repository every day?

Perhaps, you could be rescued by using hub command to automate the operation.

In the first place,

This is a crappy software, and give useless loads to GitHub. So, if you have enough common sense, it's supposed that you're aware of that you should not use this.
