# GitType ⌨️💻
> *"Show your AI who's boss: just you, your keyboard, and your coding sins"*
**GitType** turns your own source code into typing challenges. Because why practice with boring lorem ipsum when you can type your beautiful `fn main()` implementations?
## Features ✨
- 🦀🐍⚡🐹💎🍎🎯☕🐘#️⃣🔧➕🎭🎯 **Multi-language**: Rust, TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, Java, PHP, C#, C, C++, Haskell, Dart (more languages incoming!)
- 📊 **Real-time metrics**: Live WPM, accuracy, and consistency tracking as you type
- 🏆 **Ranking system**: Unlock developer titles from "Hello World Newbie" to "Quantum Computer" with ASCII art
- 🎮 **Multiple game modes**: Normal, Time Attack, and custom difficulty levels (Easy to Zen)
- ⏸️ **Pause/resume**: Take breaks without ruining your stats
- 🎯 **Your own code**: Type functions from your actual projects, not boring examples
## Installation 📦
### Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
```bash
brew install unhappychoice/tap/gittype
```
### Cargo (Universal)
```bash
cargo install gittype
```
## Quick Start 🚀
```bash
# cd into your messy codebase
cd ~/that-project-you-never-finished
# Start typing your own spaghetti code (uses current directory by default)
gittype
# Or specify a specific repository path
gittype /path/to/another/repo
# Clone and play with any GitHub repository
gittype --repo clap-rs/clap
gittype --repo https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui
gittype --repo git@github.com:dtolnay/anyhow.git
```
## Screenshots 📸
## Why GitType? 🤔
- **Look busy at work** → "I'm studying the codebase" (technically true!)
- **Beat the AI overlords** → Type faster than ChatGPT can generate
- **Stop typing boring stuff** → Your own bugs are way more interesting than lorem ipsum
- **Discover forgotten treasures** → That elegant function you wrote at 3am last year
- **Procrastinate like a pro** → It's code review, but gamified!
- **Embrace your legacy code** → Finally face those variable names you're not proud of
- **Debug your typing skills** → Because `pubic static void main` isn't a typo anymore
- **Therapeutic code reliving** → Type through your programming journey, tears included
- **Climb the dev ladder** → From "Code Monkey" to "Quantum Computer" - each rank comes with fancy ASCII art
*"Basically, you need an excuse to avoid real work, and this one's pretty good."*
