Hi @umairvatao, thanks for reporting the issue.

It doesn’t affect the activity graph, does it? I tried generating commits, and it worked fine.

Sorry, I missed this... actually it did caused issue for me. When i was playing with your script and pushed the project to github, it didn't create history. It was only showing me single dot on the date when i actually pushed.

Thus I searched the issue and found this.

Not sure if OS played a role here.

I did however pushed a fix as PR if you like.
