I want to talk about GitAnimals which is an incredible project that allows you to grow pets through GitHub activity, it keeps you motivated to commit to using cute and funny pets.
I’m a late ’90s kid who was always passionate about virtual pets, during my childhood and teenage years I had a lot of Tamagotchi (and I got so sad when they died) and I spent a lot of hours with games like Neopets, if you’d like to have a bit of this nostalgic feeling while studying/working GitAnimals it’s a great choice! Would you like to meet to learn more about this project?
Starting to grow your pets is simple, you can easily do it by going to the GitAnimals homepage and clicking on “Have Pet”, the bottom will direct you to your GitHub account asking for authorization to access your public data. After accepting, you will be redirected to the GitAnimals website for customization. You can buy pets with commit points or get a new random one when you accumulate 30 commits.
As you can see on the project homepage you can add your pets to your GitHub profile, be it just your main pet or all your pets in "Farm" mode and it’s important to highlight that you have more than 50 options of pets and you can see them all at their GitHub Documentation. As a cat person, I chose a Galchi Cat cause it looks like my old companion Nina who crossed the rainbow bridge recently but they even had special pets for commemorative dates, slimes, and pets with slack tags (Penguin Linux with a Penguin Linux is so good and I hope to get one pretty soon). Now, it’s your time to go and choose your favorite pet!
If you like this project idea, create your pets and share them with our community, give a star to their repository, and if you have any ideas or want to make it even better read the docs and contact them.
May cute virtual pets help you on your journey!
