Block your code if you don't do daily pushups

Top comment

Hey PH!

Git Pushups is simple tool I use during my workday to stay strong as a developer.

It works like this:
1. Download the app
2. Configure the .git-hook
3. Go about my workday

If I don't do regular pushups, I can't pushup my code.

It sounds silly, but it works for three reasons:
1. Habit stacking: grow a habit based on habits you already have (daily coding)
2. Greasing the groove: grow stronger through frequent sets of an exercise
3. It's fun: and you like to do fun things

### Free gift for you 🎁
As a special gift to the PH community, anyone who records themselves doing pushups with the app and shares it publicly with me (x.com/justinprojects) will get 1 FREE YEAR of the Git Pushups PRO which unlocks some other fun features.

Thank you for your attention and I hope you join me and other developers who are making their coding work day a little more fun and strong! 💪

hahahaha, the tagline is SO GOOD! "Do pushups...or we'll block your commits." what do you use for sending push notifications/emails?

This is so much fun! I don't usually write code in my work, but I'd write a bit code to try this APP😄

In case you haven't been following along, I'm doing 1000 gitpushups today in honor of the PH launch. 100/hr, 5 hours left

Haha this is both scary and brilliant. A fun way to sneak fitness into coding life. I’d probably end up fitter but ship slower.

I effing loove it haha!

Quick questions:
1) As a web engineer, I'd have loved to have this on the web so I don't have to install an app

2) Unsure how you "track" a good pushup, but could I cheat it by simply hitting my head on the phone when I start the countdown?

Cheers and congrats on the launch!

@yupyup I like the idea. Best of luck today!

This is definitely a crazy approach to tracking habits 😅

I love this idea! I think it could really be effective. Now you've inspired me to try a new version: no push-ups, no coffee. This will definitely get me moving!
