GitHub City is a web application that transforms your GitHub contribution history into a three-dimensional city you can explore. You simply enter your GitHub username, and the tool builds a unique cityscape where your daily commits become the buildings and structures. The height and density of the city's architecture correspond to your coding activity, creating a visual metaphor for your work throughout the year. It turns the familiar green squares of your GitHub profile into a dynamic, interactive landscape. The interface is straightforward: a central input field for your username and a 'Create' button to generate your city. Once loaded, you can navigate the 3D environment, which is best experienced on a desktop computer with hardware acceleration enabled for smooth performance. The tool also offers options to adjust the visual presentation, such as changing shadow presets, allowing for some customization of the final look. What makes GitHub City stand out is its creative approach to data. Instead of presenting your contributions as a simple chart or graph, it builds a world from them. This offers a more intuitive and engaging way to understand your coding habits and productivity patterns. It is a project that highlights the potential for making developer tools not just functional, but also visually interesting and enjoyable to use. This tool is primarily for developers and anyone with a GitHub profile who wants to see their work from a new angle. It is useful for reflecting on your annual coding journey, creating a novel visual for your portfolio or personal website, or simply having a bit of fun with your own data. It provides a concrete, memorable representation of the effort behind your commits.
