## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: cli, image-processing, developer-tools, plugin-system
- domain: developer-tools, version-control, photography, media
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: git, webcam, selfie, humor, git-hooks, animated-gif, ruby-gem, command-line, macos, linux
