FakeCommitter

FakeCommitter is a tool for those who want to be a GITHUB POPSTAR WITH A LOT OF CONTRIBUTIONS DAILY! Or maybe you just want to sync your contribution number across accounts (like me). For example: You NEED to use a different account to acess your work repositories with a work email, in this case, every commit you make count in another account.
