## What it is
A terminal-based puzzle game where players advance through ten levels by performing git tasks on the repository itself, testing knowledge of git commands. Each level's README provides clues for the next task, and completing the game earns an open badge.

## Use cases
- learn git commands through hands-on practice
- test my git skills with puzzles
- practice git checkout, branching, and history commands
- find a fun way to teach git to students
- gamified git tutorial for beginners
- challenge myself with increasingly hard git tasks

## When to choose
- you want interactive, repo-based git practice instead of reading docs
- you already know basic terminal usage and want to level up git skills
- you're an educator looking for a hands-on git exercise

## When to avoid
- you need a GUI or guided interactive tutorial with feedback
- you want to learn git from zero with explanations rather than puzzles
- you need a production tool rather than a learning exercise

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, game, cli
- domain: version-control, education, developer-tools
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: git, terminal-game, puzzle, learning-by-doing, version-control-practice, command-line
