Clout Commit

to 2026 Tool Open Source
Shell Python Github Actions

A random tool for making recruiters think you’re actually productive. Instead of building features, we build perception. This repo changes one character in a text file daily and commits it with increasingly ridiculous commit messages. Not a bug, but a feature.

I do not condone this.

How it Works

  1. app.py reads a single character from data.txt
  2. Replaces it with a random different character (a-z, excluding the current one)
  3. run.sh commits this groundbreaking change with a (fake) commit message
  4. Cronjob runs this daily so your GitHub profile looks like you’re literally always working

Think of it as proof of life for your GitHub account.
