		geedew on Feb 27, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 500 days – the longest streak on GitHub? I can beat it. Give me about 5 minutes and git filter my commits. Not to take away from the "accomplishment" ( achievement? ) of work, but its easy to create and post date commits to beat this "record".

That's not beating him, that's cheating. You can make it look like you have lots of commits but you won't actually be person with the longest streak.
