A 3D City From GitHub Contributions
GitHub City turns contribution patterns into a browser-based city scene, giving developers a more visual alternative to the standard GitHub contribution graph.

Use the GitHub City Tool Online
Enter a GitHub username in the embedded GitHub City tool below and generate a 3D contribution city directly on this page. For the smoothest experience, use a desktop browser with hardware acceleration enabled.
Start by typing a public GitHub username inside the tool window.
Open the original GitHub City tool in a new tab
Tip: if the 3D scene feels slow, try a desktop browser and check that hardware acceleration is enabled.

GitHub City: Turn Your GitHub Contributions Into a 3D City
GitHub City transforms a GitHub contribution graph into an interactive 3D city. Instead of reading green squares, you can explore coding activity as a city skyline built from public GitHub contribution data.
No installation required. Use the embedded browser tool with any public GitHub username.

Understand Your GitHub 3D Contribution Graph Before You Explore
Most visitors want to create a GitHub City quickly, but they also need to know what the city represents. This section explains the output, the data source, and the most common reason a GitHub contribution city looks smaller than expected.
Built Around Public GitHub Activity
The tool starts with a GitHub username and depends on contribution activity that GitHub can associate with that profile, such as counted commits, pull requests, issues, and other visible activity.
Missing Commits Usually Start With GitHub Rules
If your GitHub City commit history looks incomplete, check the GitHub contribution graph first. Email settings, default branches, private activity, forks, and recent updates can all affect what appears.
Best next step if the city looks wrong
Compare the generated city with the official GitHub contribution graph on the same profile. If the activity is missing there, the visualization cannot reliably show it either.

What Is GitHub City?
GitHub City is an online visualization tool that turns a GitHub contribution graph into a browser-based 3D city. It uses a GitHub username as the starting point, reads contribution activity, and presents the result as a city-like scene instead of a flat calendar grid.
People search for GitHub City, Git City, githubcity, or GitHub contribution city when they want a more visual way to explore coding activity. The tool is especially useful for developers who want to share a playful view of their GitHub profile or understand contribution patterns at a glance.
GitHub City vs a Standard GitHub Contribution Graph
A standard GitHub contribution graph shows activity as daily squares. GitHub City makes that same idea more visual by turning contribution patterns into a 3D environment that feels easier to explore and share.
What Data Does GitHub City Use?
GitHub City depends on GitHub contribution data connected to a public username. If a commit, pull request, issue, or other activity does not appear in the GitHub contribution graph, it may not appear in the city visualization either.
| Common search names | GitHub City, Git City, githubcity, GitHub contribution city |
|---|---|
| Main input | A public GitHub username |
| Main output | An interactive 3D contribution city |
| Best use case | Visualizing GitHub activity for portfolios, profiles, and personal summaries |
| Related concept | GitHub 3D contribution graph |
Quick start
How to Use GitHub City
You can create a GitHub contribution city in a few steps. The homepage tool runs in your browser, so you do not need to install a command-line tool or connect a private account.
1
Find a GitHub Username
Use your own GitHub username or another public GitHub profile you want to visualize.
2
Enter the Username in GitHub City
Type the username inside the embedded GitHub City tool near the top of this homepage.
3
Generate the 3D GitHub Contribution Graph
Click the create or generate button inside the tool and wait for the contribution city to load.
4
Explore the Generated City
Move through the browser scene and use the city view to understand contribution density and coding patterns.
5
Troubleshoot Missing Commits
If the city looks too small, compare it with the public GitHub contribution graph and check whether recent commits are counted.
6
Use Desktop for the Best Experience
A desktop browser usually handles the 3D city better than a small mobile screen, especially when WebGL rendering is heavy.
Why Your GitHub City May Look Empty
If the city looks empty or smaller than expected, first check whether the GitHub username is correct. Then check the public contribution graph on GitHub. Recent commits may take time to appear, commits made with an unlinked email may not count, and branch or fork activity may not appear until it is merged in a way GitHub counts.
Why it helps
Why Use GitHub City?
GitHub City is useful when a flat contribution calendar does not tell the full story at a glance. A 3D contribution city can make GitHub activity easier to present, compare, and discuss, especially for portfolios, developer profiles, team retrospectives, and personal coding summaries.
Visualize GitHub Contributions Differently
Turn a familiar GitHub contribution graph into a 3D city that is easier to explore and remember.
Make Developer Profiles More Shareable
Use GitHub City as a visual talking point for portfolios, resumes, social posts, or personal websites.
Understand Contribution Patterns Faster
Dense periods, quiet periods, and long-term activity become easier to notice in a city-style view.
Use It Without Installation
The tool runs in the browser through an embedded iframe, so visitors can start from the homepage.
| Tool Type | Best For | Main Output |
|---|---|---|
| GitHub City | Fast browser-based contribution visualization | Interactive 3D city |
| GitHub Skyline | 3D-printable contribution history | STL skyline model |
| GitHub contribution graph | Official activity overview | Calendar grid |
| GitHub commit graph | Commit-focused activity review | Timeline or graph view |
Common questions
GitHub City FAQ
What is GitHub City?
GitHub City is an online tool that turns a GitHub contribution graph into an interactive 3D city. It gives developers a more visual way to explore public GitHub activity.
Is GitHub City the same as Git City?
People often use GitHub City and Git City to describe similar 3D contribution visualization tools. On this page, GitHub City refers to the browser-based tool that creates a city from a GitHub username and contribution graph.
How do I create a GitHub City?
Enter a GitHub username in the embedded tool on this homepage, click the generate button, and wait for the 3D contribution city to load. No separate page or installation is required.
What is a GitHub 3D contribution graph?
A GitHub 3D contribution graph is a visual version of GitHub activity data. Instead of showing contribution activity as flat green squares, it presents the data as a 3D scene such as a city or skyline.
Why are my GitHub commits not showing in GitHub City?
GitHub City depends on contribution data. Commits may not appear if they were made with an email not connected to your GitHub account, if they are only on an unmerged branch, if they are in an unmerged fork, or if GitHub has not updated the graph yet.
Does GitHub City work on mobile?
GitHub City may load on mobile browsers, but a desktop browser usually gives a better experience because the 3D scene can require more screen space and graphics performance.
Can I use GitHub City with private contributions?
Private contribution visibility depends on GitHub profile settings and what data is available to the viewer. If private activity is hidden or anonymized in the GitHub contribution graph, the city may not show it clearly.
Is GitHub City free to use?
Yes, the embedded GitHub City experience is available as a free browser-based tool. You can enter a public GitHub username and generate a 3D contribution city directly from the homepage.
