A GitHub contribution filler that’s honest about the product
Same category as the scripts you’ve seen on GitHub. Different product: preview, realism, Doctor, Stripe, undo — and we say out loud what the squares are.
DIY vs RetroFill
Same category as the contribution fillers on GitHub. Different product around the commits.
| Aspect | DIY script | RetroFill |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Clone a repo and paste a personal token | Browser, then Connect GitHub |
| Preview | Often none | Live on your real graph |
| Pattern | Noise, or a hand-edited grid | Seeded realism engine and personas |
| Content | Empty commits or a log file | TIL notes, a utility library, or a journal |
| Undo | Manual cleanup | One click deletes the generated repo |
| Safety | You are on your own | Human-scale caps, Contribution Doctor, account-age warning |
| Price | Your time | Free taste, then Coffee or Time Machine |
Amounts for Coffee and Time Machine are on pricing. Autopilot is streak insurance on top.
What the squares are
Every fill is generated, backdated git history in a repository you own. Anyone can open it. Don’t present the squares as evidence of specific work. The long version is the transparency page; short answers live in the FAQ.
Two ways in: fill your GitHub contribution graph without a DIY script, or fill only the empty days.
