Git City — Where Code Builds Cities


What is Git City?

Git City transforms every GitHub profile into a unique pixel art building. The more you contribute, the taller your building grows. Explore an interactive 3D city, fly between buildings, and discover developers from around the world.

Features

  • 3D Pixel Art Buildings — Each GitHub user becomes a building with height based on contributions, width based on repos, and lit windows representing activity
  • Free Flight Mode — Fly through the city with smooth camera controls, visit any building, and explore the skyline
  • Profile Pages — Dedicated pages for each developer with stats, achievements, and top repositories
  • Achievement System — Unlock achievements based on contributions, stars, repos, referrals, and more
  • Building Customization — Claim your building and customize it with items from the shop (crowns, auras, roof effects, face decorations)
  • Social Features — Send kudos, gift items to other developers, refer friends, and see a live activity feed
  • Compare Mode — Put two developers side by side and compare their buildings and stats
  • Share Cards — Download shareable image cards of your profile in landscape or stories format

How Buildings Work

Metric Affects Example
Contributions Building height 1,000 commits → taller building
Public repos Building width More repos → wider base
Stars Window brightness More stars → more lit windows
Activity Window pattern Recent activity → distinct glow pattern

Buildings are rendered with instanced meshes and a LOD (Level of Detail) system for performance. Close buildings show full detail with animated windows; distant buildings use simplified geometry.
