lolcommits is a Ruby CLI tool that automatically captures a webcam snapshot every time you make a git commit, archiving a lolcat-style selfie image per commit. It supports plugins, animated GIF capture via ffmpeg, and works across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Use cases

• take a webcam selfie on every git commit
• create a timelapse of my face while coding a project
• see what I looked like when I broke the build
• add fun selfie images to my git workflow
• generate animated gifs of my coding sessions
• keep a humorous archive of commits per repository

When to choose

• you want a fun, automated webcam snapshot tied to git commits
• you use git on macOS, Linux, or Windows and want a cross-platform tool
• you want plugin extensibility or animated GIF captures

When to avoid

• you have no webcam or don't want photos taken during commits
• you need serious, productivity-focused commit tooling rather than humor
• you can't install ImageMagick/ffmpeg dependencies in your environment
