Git City – Just a Fun Take on What Developers Actually Do Look, GitHub’s green squares are cool and all, but let’s be honest, they’re kinda boring after a while. You grind commits for months and it just looks like a lawn. Git City takes all that data and turns it into an actual 3D pixel city where your GitHub profile becomes a building. The more you commit, the taller your building gets. More repos? Wider base. Stars and recent activity? Lights turn on in the windows at night. It’s simple, satisfying, and weirdly addictive. I tried it and immediately flew around like a kid with a new video game. You can zoom through the whole city in paper plane mode, check out random buildings, spot your friends, and just vibe with some chill lo-fi music playing. There’s daily check-ins, little achievements, and even silly building raids (nothing too serious, just for fun). How it actually works - Connect your GitHub (one click) - Your building appears automatically - Height = total contributions - Width = number of repos - Lights = recent activity & stars - You can buy small custom stuff like neon signs, different roofs, or effects if you want to make it yours As of now there are already over 77,000 buildings. The city is growing fast and they’re aiming for 100k, which apparently unlocks something cool (they’re keeping it a surprise). Who made this? One guy @samuelrizzondev , He built the whole thing mostly by himself with help from Claude (yeah, AI coding tools are getting scary good). It’s open source, looks great, runs smooth even with thousands of buildings on screen. That alone is impressive. Why people like it It’s not another boring dashboard. It actually feels fun. You get that little dopamine hit when you see your building taller than last week. You can show it off easily with screenshots or short videos. A bunch of devs are already sharing theirs on Twitter and LinkedIn. It also feels like a community. You see live activity someone just got a new achievement, another person raided a building, etc. It turns solo coding into something more social without forcing you to chat. The money side Core thing is completely free. They make a bit of cash from customizations and some ads (planes, blimps, signs). Nothing pushy. It’s the right amount of “indie project that might actually pay the bills.” Bottom line Git City is one of those rare side projects that just feels right. It takes something we all stare at (GitHub profile) and makes it visual, shareable, and fun. In a world full of serious dev tools and AI coding assistants, this is the playful opposite and that’s exactly why it works. If you code even a little bit, go try it. Takes two minutes. → https://t.co/o0Ft9F6ieT Then tweet your building. Everyone’s doing it right now and it’s genuinely fun to see where you rank in the skyline. It’s not going to change your life, but it might make you smile every time you push some code. And honestly, that’s pretty rare these days. 🌆 @thegitcity @github 0xd523f92F5F313288Cf69Ac9ca456b8a7d7A6dbA3
