Hey PH!

Git Pushups is simple tool I use during my workday to stay strong as a developer.

It works like this:
1. Download the app
2. Configure the .git-hook
3. Go about my workday

If I don't do regular pushups, I can't pushup my code.

It sounds silly, but it works for three reasons:
1. Habit stacking: grow a habit based on habits you already have (daily coding)
2. Greasing the groove: grow stronger through frequent sets of an exercise
3. It's fun: and you like to do fun things

### Free gift for you 🎁
As a special gift to the PH community, anyone who records themselves doing pushups with the app and shares it publicly with me (x.com/justinprojects) will get 1 FREE YEAR of the Git Pushups PRO which unlocks some other fun features.

Thank you for your attention and I hope you join me and other developers who are making their coding work day a little more fun and strong! 💪

This is definitely a crazy approach to tracking habits 😅

I love this idea! I think it could really be effective. Now you've inspired me to try a new version: no push-ups, no coffee. This will definitely get me moving!

@upvote_plz "no push-ups, no coffee" is full on jedi mode. nice
probably a good way to get off coffee too since push ups always wake me up a bit!

Justin Higgins

@upvote_plz also, thanks for checking out my app! get some pushups in today! 😎🫸🫸

💡 Bright idea

I effing loove it haha!

Quick questions:
1) As a web engineer, I'd have loved to have this on the web so I don't have to install an app

2) Unsure how you "track" a good pushup, but could I cheat it by simply hitting my head on the phone when I start the countdown?

Cheers and congrats on the launch!

@ohansemmanuel thanks Ohans!

1. I'm considering building a web version but it as a lot of downsides, namely the facial recognition model for tracking a correct pushup. Users shouldn't have to / won't move their laptop to the ground to do a set.

2. Yes, it's possible to cheat like that. Not everything requires an engineering solution :)

Check out the ios or android build please! It's free and if you think you'd use it on web with a webcam, I'll bump up that feature request!

@yupyup that’s fair re: web limitation Could perhaps work as long as the web cam captures the movement perhaps tilting the camera / lid, but I see what you mean! Congrats again on the launch!

@busmark_w_nika some do cigarette breaks 👎, some do pushups breaks 👍

@justinprojects No smoking (no cigarettes) and no alcohol :) That's my life.

Very Interesting Idea! Congratulation!!

Justin Higgins

@hidetakahomii thanks Hidetaka! I'm excited for your next videos!

Marko Denic

@yupyup I like the idea. Best of luck today!

Justin Higgins

@denic thanks Marko! Later today i'll be doing pushups every hour on the live stream. Maybe 1k pushups before the day is done!

I'm ready to get swole while I code!
