a new license every day https://github.com/git-learning-game/oh-my-git/blob/main/LIC... and https://github.com/git-learning-game/oh-my-git-2/blob/main/L...

their page says their funding will run out in Feb and those seem to be the last commit dates so I guess it happened :(

there was some discussion on the previous submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=ohmygit.org

This is amazing! Thank you for making this. I'm sure youngsters will love learning git in a gamified environment.

Does this game include the newer Git commands that were featured in this HN submission from a few weeks ago? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39889043

Imagine if apps just… worked like this, somehow. Start off with a realtime visualization and point and click commands, and as you learn them you can evolve into a straight CLI…

I'm so used to whatever flawed abstractions I have in my head that I fear learning the truth could be detrimental.

This, but I compartmentalize.

If I own the project then my heresies are dogma.

This is freaking cool. Thanks for making this.

Maybe it will make me have more confidence in using git CLI vs my IDE's git integration instead.

Well, this is a pretty clever way of introducing folks to git.
