Most days are pretty easy. Being that I maintain a large project (Open Dylan), there is almost always a simple bug to fix, documentation to improve, typos to correct, bugs to file, pull requests to merge from others.
It has been great for keeping things moving and making sure that every day, I make at least a little bit of progress. Every day, at least a tiny step forward.

#13I tried the same thing a few months ago (this lasted 58 days), but some days you just don’t want to work. A few notes: - it’s the time of the commit which is important, not the push.

It’ll be the same as having pushed everyday during one week (this works with personal projects, b…
I'm glad someone can relate to that feeling of not wanting to work. The master branch thing was annoying as well especially if you work regularly on separate branches in larger projects.

They do for your own view, but the public will see a different number for your streak. My projects are all open-sourced so I did not have this issue.
