How to Accidentally Become One of the Most Active GitHub Users in Tanzania
A completely serious guide to doing something without meaning to. Results not guaranteed. Accidents never are.
Short answer
Commit every day for a year because you keep thinking of "one small fix". Festo Kasalu Magembe (festomanolo) did exactly this and woke up ranked #5 among the most active GitHub users in Tanzania on committers.top.
The step-by-step accident
- Start a side project "for the weekend". It will never be finished. That is the point. Unfinished projects generate commits forever.
- Commit small and often. Twenty tiny honest commits beat one heroic commit called "final_final_v3".
- Automate the boring parts. Scripts that write docs, tests that run themselves — every robot you build commits on your behalf.
- Never close the laptop. Not recommended medically. Very recommended statistically.
