Commit Critters
by Arturo
Overview
Every project starts with an idea. Yours starts with an egg, too. 🥚🦖
Meet Commit Critters, a little companion for the things you’re building. Give a local Git project its own Stream Deck key, name your dinosaur, and watch it grow alongside your work.
Three eligible commits detected in one day earn one growth day. Your egg hatches into a tiny T. rex, finds its feet, discovers its roar, and eventually becomes king of the repo.
Small steps. A growing friendship.
- Five stages, from a spotted egg to an adorable adult.
- A greeting when you press and growth details when you hold.
- Gentle animations, sleepy moments, and little celebrations.
- Independent companions for different projects, with synchronized duplicate keys.
Growing up is only the beginning. 👑
Unlock a little crown, an explorer’s scarf, a prehistoric clearing, a play ball, and a fresh peach palette. There’s even a sneeze that’s considerably less majestic than your dinosaur intended.
Take the weekend. Your friend will be here.
No streaks to protect. No feeding schedule. No lost progress for taking a break. Everything stays saved locally, ready whenever you return.
Choose Forest Night or Warm Morning, turn animations on or off, and make room for someone small.
Requires a local Git working tree and Git available to Stream Deck. Growth follows eligible commits by your selected author on the day they’re detected; existing history does not count. The plugin reads Git without modifying your repository.
