Your daily SMS reminder to keep up that contribution streak.
Inspired by https://ryanseys.com/blog/177-days-of-github/.
Requires Python 2.7. You can get the needed dependencies via pip install -r requirements.txt.
You'll also need access to a server capable of running cronjobs, and a Twilio account for sending SMS (which you can get for free - see the next section).
If you don't have a Twilio account already, you can get a free trial here. Note that you'll have to activate your phone number before you'll be able to receive messages on that phone.
Once your account has been set up, edit conf.py, using the details from your Twilio account. Then, run
git update-index --assume-unchanged conf.pyto ensure that your changes to conf.py are not tracked by Git.
You really only need one line in your crontab, if you want to make it a daily reminder. But if you're like me, then you probably don't think that a single reminder a day is sufficient. Here's what my crontab looks like:
0 18 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "You haven't committed yet!"
0 19 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "Still haven't committed ..."
0 20 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "It's already 8 and you STILL haven't committed??"
0 21 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "What are you waiting for? Commit already!"
0 22 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "Just like open an issue or something come on"
0 23 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "I don't know what you're waiting for. Do you want to keep up your streak or not?"
0 0 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "It's midnight. You're lucky Github uses PST."
0 1 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "I hope you're still awake because you have 2 hours to commit something."
0 2 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "It doesn't have to be good, just don't break your streak please"
45 2 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "You have 15 minutes to save your streak"
59 2 * * * /edit/this/send_sms.py "1 minute left ... don't fuck up"(Edit with crontab -e.)
