GitHub profile decorator

Want to show off your ASCII art to the world but don't know how? Now you can display it in your GitHub profile.

Transform this:

++..   ##                   #                   ..+++
+..   #--#    #       #     #       ##     ###   ..++
..    #  -   #-#     #-#    ###     --#   #---#   ..+
.    ###    #- -#   #- -#   #--#   ####   #   -    ..
..   -#-    -# #-   -# #-   #  #  #---#   #       ..+
+..   #      -#-     -#-    -##-  -###-   #      ..++
++..  -       -       -      --    ---    -     ..+++

Preview

It is as easy as:

  • Clone the repo
  • Run decorator.py < ascii-art.txt (it may take a while for serious art)
  • In decorator you'll have a repository with an artsy history
  • ???
  • PROFIT!!

., -, + and # will be transformed to 4 shades of green that GitHub uses. You can see decoration in action in this test account.
