It would be fun if GitHub let me include private repositories in my public stats. Not everyone works solely on open source software, and the leaked information isn't particularly sensitive.

If you count private repos, my streak is getting rather ridiculous. 307 days so far: http://geoff.greer.fm/images/github_streak.png

Then it would be much easier to "cheat" the streak thingy, just make private repo and a script to make and push a XXX number of commits, each one with different timestamp and random data inside.

You can even "cheat" the streak to look cool https://github.com/gelstudios/gitfiti
