A typing practice tool using your own code repositories
GitType is a Rust CLI typing game that turns source code from real repositories
into typing challenges. It parses code with tree-sitter, renders a terminal UI,
tracks real-time WPM/accuracy/consistency metrics, and unlocks developer titles
through a ranking system. Multi-language support includes Rust, TypeScript,
JavaScript, Python, Go, Ruby, Swift, Kotlin, Java, PHP, C#, C, C++, Haskell,
Dart, Scala, Clojure, Elixir, Erlang, and Zig.
