GitFit

GitFit - A pre-commit hook using the Fitbit API

What it does

Prevents you from committing code unless you've met your primary Fitbit goal for the day.

Motivation

After coming home from work, I eat dinner in front of my TV and frequently code all night. This is quite unhealthy. To limit my all-nighters, I need to enforce some restrictions on myself. Now, in order to commit code I must first meet one of my Fitbit goals (10,000 steps, 5 miles, or being very active for 30 minutes). If I miss my goal the commit is rejected -- which also means I can't deploy.

Areas for improvement: right now, even if I hit my goal, I can't code after midnight. Then again, that may not be such a bad thing.

Instructions

1. Install the Python Fitbit API wrapper pip install fitbit
2. Make sure hook is executable chmod u+x pre-commit & saved to your hooks folder (global or repo level)
3. Create a new Fitbit app & note down your API keys
4. Get your userid by visiting your profile online & noting down the string that comes after https://www.fitbit.com/user/ (mine is 2SZVTN)
5. Make sure your Activities are public here: https://www.fitbit.com/user/profile/privacy
6. Try committing something
