Show HN: GitType – A typing game that turns GitHub repos into challenges

2 points by unhappychoice 6 months ago · 0 comments · 1 min read


I’ve been building GitType, a CLI typing game that generates problems directly from GitHub repositories. Instead of practicing on random text or predefined exercises, you type through real-world code.

The latest release (v0.7.0) includes:

- Problem generation improved: several times more challenges from the same repository

- Faster startup with caching

- `gittype repo` play to instantly replay repositories you’ve already tried

- In-game help screen with scoring and ranking information

- Various bug fixes and UI improvements

You can find the project here: https://github.com/unhappychoice/gittype

How high can you score? Can you break 10000 points?
