This HN Thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7932624 Talks about a tool where you can change your git history to draw in your GitHub profile. Obviously I think its a good idea. Wanted to get the communities thoughts.

It's not really changing history, just backdating commits. Can anything be done to stop people adjusting their system clocks, or writing false data into their commit history? There is no way to disprove those commits, especially since commit and push are disparate events in git.
