## What it is
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
