GitHub Contribution Prints:
The Complete Buying Guide
What they are, the five art styles, sizes, framing options, and how to buy one for your home office — or as the one gift a developer actually gets excited about.
What is a GitHub contribution print?
A GitHub contribution print is the green activity graph from a developer's GitHub profile — the one that shows a square for every day you committed code — transformed into wall art. It's the developer's version of a trophy wall: a visual record of a year's worth of shipped work, in a format you can hang next to your desk.
The format has spread beyond the classic graph. Modern code-art studios (including ours) also turn language breakdowns, profile stats, commit messages, and favorite code snippets into posters, framed prints, desk mats, canvas, and even mugs and tees.
Why it's the ultimate developer gift
Three reasons this is the gift that lands.
It's personal by construction
No two developers have the same graph. The art is generated from their real public data — it can't be generic, and it can't be faked. That's what makes it feel like a trophy rather than a trinket.
It fits a real office need
Developers spend 8+ hours a day in their workspace. Wall art for the home office is one of the few gift categories where a programmer will genuinely look at the thing more than twice.
There's an option for every budget
From a $19 mug to a $44 oversize desk mat to an $84 framed print — there's a price point for coworkers, friends, partners, and teams.

Every style prints on every product, in any of seven color schemes.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use any GitHub username?
Yes. Enter any GitHub username and we pull the public contribution data — no GitHub account or login required. You preview instantly before you buy.
Do private contributions show up?
The graph reflects the public contribution view from GitHub's profile settings. If the owner has enabled "Include private contributions" on GitHub, those appear in the data as well.
What if someone doesn't have many contributions?
Every graph tells a story. The language donut, profile stats, commit word cloud, and code snippet styles all look great regardless of contribution count — and a sparse graph is still a real, personal artifact.
Do I need an account to order?
No. Order with just your email on the preview page. Stripe Checkout securely collects your shipping address at payment. Your art is printed exactly from the preview you approved.
