I 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 makes sense that this sort of thing is easier if you own a larger project. That sounds like a great way to EDBC = Every day be coding.

Are you aiming for the "at least one commit per day", or did this happen naturally as you worked on Open Dylan?
