GitHub Actions template that auto-generates daily contributions by creating scheduled empty commits.
Fairy of Grass keeps a GitHub contribution graph green by committing for you. It’s a template repo: a GitHub Actions workflow runs once a day (~12:00 GMT) and pushes an empty commit, which counts as a contribution without pretending to be real work.
Setup is three steps
Create a repo from the template
Add one secret — USER_EMAIL — so the commit is attributed to you
Done; the daily schedule takes it from there
The whole thing is one cron-scheduled Action and a single secret — deliberately tiny, so it’s easy to read end-to-end before you trust it with your profile. The template repo runs the same workflow on itself and has planted its own grass every day since December 2020. (Whether you should farm your own grass is between you and your contribution graph.)
