Show HN: Git Quest – I turned your GitHub commit history into an idle RPG
fabriciosx Monday, March 16, 2026
Hey HN,
I built Git Quest, it reads your public GitHub history and turns it into an idle RPG character.
How it works: - Your most-used language determines your class (TypeScript → Paladin, Python → Sage, etc.) - Commits generate Power and XP - Your character auto-battles dungeons while you code – no active play needed - Enemies drop loot across 5 rarity tiers - Live leaderboard ranks developers
It only reads public GitHub data.
I built it because I wanted something that rewards coding consistency without being another "streak" tracker. The idle mechanic means prolific coders naturally progress faster, but you don't have to babysit it.
Would love feedback on the game loop and whether the class/language mapping feels right.
Summary
GitQuest is a free web-based tool that helps developers discover and contribute to open-source projects on GitHub, making it easier to find relevant projects and contribute to the open-source community.
