What format do dates need to be in?

ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` at the start of the line. Anything after the date is treated as a count (must be numeric). Lines starting with `#` are comments and skipped.

How are intensity levels assigned?

Five bins relative to the year's peak — empty, <25%, <50%, <75%, ≥75%. So a day at 50% of your busiest day uses the middle shade. The bins re-balance whenever the data changes.

Time

Turns a column of dates into the GitHub-contribution-graph view of a year. Each line can be just a date (`2026-03-15`) for count 1, or a date with a number (`2026-03-15 4`) when you have weights. The grid auto-bins counts into five intensity levels relative to the year's peak, picks a palette, and surfaces the longest streak and current streak below. Useful for habit trackers, commit history copies, sales/error logs — any time-series where the rhythm matters more than the exact value.
