How to use

Make sure Git is installed on your computer.

Download the app, open it, and first grab a Personal Access Token (PAT) so you can sign in to GitHub. You can follow this guide: how to get your PAT.

Once you’re logged in you’ll see your avatar and name in the upper-left corner. Drag across the calendar to paint your design. When you’re satisfied, click Create Remote Repo. You can edit the repo name and description, choose whether it’s public or private, and then press Generate & Push to let the app create and push the repository for you automatically.

Heads-up: GitHub may take anywhere from 5 minutes to 2 days to show the contributions on your profile. You can keep the repo private and enable “Include private contributions” in your profile settings so others can’t see the repo content but the contribution streak still counts.

Quick Tips

• Right-click while painting to toggle between the brush and the eraser.
• Use the brush intensity control to switch between different shades of green.

Windows/Linux

Download and run the application directly.

macOS

Since this application is not yet signed, you may encounter security restrictions on first launch. Follow these steps to resolve:

cd the-directory-where-green-wall.app-is-located
sudo xattr -cr ./green-wall.app
sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine ./green-wall.app

Tip: You don't need to execute all of these commands. Try them in order from top to bottom, and stop once one resolves the issue.

Warning: The commands will not automatically launch the application. You need to manually double-click the app to start it (the commands only modify file attributes).
