GitType is a terminal-based typing game that extracts functions from your own source code repositories and turns them into typing challenges. It supports 19+ programming languages via tree-sitter and tracks real-time WPM, accuracy, and consistency metrics.

Use cases

• practice touch typing with my own codebase
• improve typing speed for programming
• test my WPM using real source code
• play a typing game in the terminal
• train typing with trending GitHub repositories
• learn keyboard shortcuts and syntax by typing code
• gamify coding practice for a team

When to choose

• you want to practice typing on code from your actual projects rather than generic text
• you need multi-language support with syntax-aware code extraction
• you prefer a fast, offline-capable terminal tool with rich themes and game modes

When to avoid

• you need a GUI typing tutor or web-based typing test
• you want to practice typing natural prose rather than source code
• your language is not among the supported tree-sitter grammars
