Your life as a GitHub contribution graph.

Live Demo · Features · Getting Started · Contributing

The "life in weeks" idea has been around for a while — your entire life fits into a grid of ~4,000 cells. GitLife overlays real GitHub commit history on top.

Enter any GitHub username in the search bar — no sign-up needed. Sign in with GitHub to include your private commits. The life expectancy calculator uses real country baselines from World Bank (217 countries) and 21 personal health factors from peer-reviewed studies.
