🟩 commit-checker v0.6.1 – Track GitHub streaks, TIL logs, and unlock CLI achievements

#opensource #cli #programming #productivity

If you’ve ever wanted to keep your GitHub streak alive without needing internet or tokens, or if you’ve just wanted to make your terminal feel a little more fun — this tool might be for you.

I just released commit-checker v0.6.1, a fully offline terminal app that lets you:

✅ Track your GitHub commit streak across all local repos

📚 Save “Today I Learned” entries from the terminal

📈 View detailed commit trends and language stats

🎮 Unlock ASCII achievements and gamified levels

💻 Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows — no tokens, no login

🔧 What’s New in v0.6.1

  • Clean uninstall now fully nukes all files + config
  • Smarter wizard input validation (no more broken setups)
  • Fixed duplicate repo bugs and improved path detection
  • Now supports all features even when installed via curl

I made a short setup + usage demo : https://youtu.be/1b3yN4mYpGY

🚀 Quick Install

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmariahAK/commit-checker/main/install.sh | bash
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

📁 GitHub
All the code, issues, and feature roadmap are on GitHub:

🙌 Why I Made This
I built commit-checker to help me stay consistent with my GitHub commits and to make the terminal a bit more fun.

Instead of needing GitHub tokens or relying on the website’s activity chart, it tracks commits directly from your local repos.

It also includes a “TIL” feature to save quick learnings, and I plan to expand it with export options, themes, and plugin support.

💭 I’d Love Feedback
Try it out, let me know what you think, and feel free to open issues or collab if you’re into CLI tools or gamified productivity.
Let’s build cool stuff offline! 🔥
