Flow state good, atrophied muscles bad.</p> <p>So I made a tool to block my git commits if I don’t do daily pushups:</p> <p><a href="https://gitpushups.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://gitpushups.com</a> </p> <h3> History </h3> <p>This started as a personal project but after hearing of <a href="https://www.shipaton.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">RevenueCat’s Shipaton hackathon</a> (you can still enter!), I formalized it as a mobile app. You can support the project with a yearly or lifetime subscription which give you some Pro features (daily goal setting, contribution graph, iOS apple health syncing)</p> <h3> How it works </h3> <ol> <li>Download the mobile app (<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/git-pushups/id6747657596" rel="noopener noreferrer">iOS</a>, <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gitpushups.android&amp;pli=1" rel="noopener noreferrer">android</a>)</li> <li>Configure the .git hook</li> <li>Go about your work day. If you don’t do daily pushups, your git hook will block you.</li> </ol> <h3> The Future </h3> <p>If this is valuable to you, please let me know! You can ping me in any channel you find me in or open an issue <a href="https://github.com/higgins/gitpushups.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">on the GitHub repo</a>!</p> git github mentalhealth mobile
