## What it is
Oh My Git! is an open-source desktop game that teaches Git through interactive puzzles, visualizing the internal structures of Git repositories in real time as the player acts. It combines a custom card interface that documents Git commands for beginners with an integrated terminal running a real Git binary, and includes a level editor for creating custom levels.

## Use cases
- learn git through a game instead of reading documentation
- interactive git tutorial for complete beginners
- visualize how git commits, branches, and remotes work internally
- practice git commands in a safe sandbox without touching real repositories
- teach git to a classroom or team in a playful way
- learn git collaboration workflows with multiple repositories
- create custom git puzzle levels for workshops

## When to choose
- You want a visual, game-like way to understand Git's internal model rather than memorizing commands
- You are introducing Git to beginners who find the command line intimidating and benefit from the card-based hints
- You want to safely experiment with Git features, including remotes and team workflows, before using them on real projects

## When to avoid
- You need a comprehensive Git reference, cheat sheet, or production tooling rather than a learning game
- You expect fast feature development or support - the project is explicitly in low-maintenance mode
- You want to build or modify levels with Godot 4, which is not supported (only Godot 3 works)
