snk

Why we included this project

A GitHub profile README can sit static for years, so it's nice to have something that moves. snk is a small GitHub Action that reads a user's contribution graph, draws a snake eating its way across the grid, and exports the result as an animated SVG or GIF. A few lines of YAML wire it into your workflow, and it regenerates the image on the schedule you set, usually daily, so the README stays fresh without you ever touching the repo. Output format and colors are configurable, and the separate dark and light variants sit cleanly on either theme. It's a narrow, single-purpose utility rather than a general animation engine, and that narrowness is what keeps the setup cheap enough to bother with.
