Making Developers Better Through Shame and Glory
We're on a mission to make code reviews actually useful (and maybe even fun)
Our Origin Story
GitGud was born from a simple observation: developers hate code reviews, but they love video games. So we asked ourselves: what if we combined them? What if getting roasted for your terrible variable names could unlock achievements? What if refactoring legacy code was a boss battle? What if becoming a better developer was actually... fun?
Turns out, it works. Really well. Developers are competitive. Give them a leaderboard and some achievements, and suddenly they care about code quality. Add an AI that roasts them with personality, and they actually learn from their mistakes. Who knew?

Our Values (No Corporate BS)
Brutal Honesty
Your code is bad and you should know about it. But we'll help you fix it. That's what friends are for.
Learning Through Pain
The best lessons come from getting roasted. We make it hurt just enough to remember, but not enough to quit.
Fun > Everything
If learning isn't fun, you won't do it. We gamified code quality because achievements > boring code reviews.
