git & fit

Commit. Stretch. Commit again.

A VS Code extension that suggests a short exercise break after meaningful commits.
Built for developers who would rather refactor than rest.

You wrote 4,800 lines today and the only muscle you used was your trapezius, complaining. git & fit notices when you commit something real, then suggests a short exercise break — with a video to follow along.

• Triggers on real commits — a chore: typo commit will not make you do squats. Default thresholds: 5 files / 200 lines / 60-min cooldown. Tunable per repo.
• Follow-along routines — 3–5 minute sequences with a demo video and step-by-step instructions, picked from a library of desk-friendly mobility, stretch, strength, and posture exercises.
• Injury-aware — toggle wrist / knee sensitivity, floor-free, quiet, and equipment preferences; the planner excludes anything incompatible.
• Snooze without guilt — 5 / 30 / 120 minutes, rest of day, or forever. No motivational language.
• Anonymous by default — the free tier sends only opt-out usage counts (never your code); Pro adds an optional email sign-in. Open source under MIT.

See it in action

A notification slides in after a meaningful commit — click Do it! and a follow-along routine opens with a demo video, timer, and instructions:

Free vs Pro

The core extension is free forever. Pro unlocks the full experience — with a 7-day free trial, no credit card.

Upgrade from inside VS Code: run git & fit: Upgrade to Pro from the Command Palette and start your trial — see pricing.

Install

From the VS Code Marketplace:

ext install twentydeka.gitnfit-vscode

Or click Install at the top of the listing page.

Quick start

1. Open a git repository in VS Code.

2. Run git & fit: Enable for Workspace from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P). Or commit a .gitnfit.json to the repo root — see Per-repo config below.

3. Make commits as usual. When one crosses the thresholds, a notification slides in from the bottom-right:

   git & fit — Time for a quick break! You committed 8 lines across 2 files. [Do it!] [Snooze] [Skip]

4. Click Do it! and a 3–5 minute routine opens in a panel with a demo video, instructions, and a timer. Keyboard: Space pause, N next, Esc close.

Per-repo config

Drop a .gitnfit.json in the repo root to share settings with your team:

{
  "detection": {
    "minFilesChanged": 5,
    "minLinesChanged":  200,
    "cooldownMinutes":  60
  },
  "sprint": {
    "mode":         "fixed-calendar",
    "lengthDays":   14,
    "anchorDate":   "2026-01-06"
  },
  "routines": {
    "durationMinutes":  4,
    "intensityByPhase": { "start": "medium", "mid": "medium", "end": "low" }
  }
}

Custom exercises (a Pro feature) are supported via a customExercises block. See the sample config for the full schema.

Commands

Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and type git & fit:

• Enable for Workspace / Disable for Workspace
• Start a Break Routine — manually trigger a routine without a commit
• Pick Exercise from Library — pick a single exercise
• Configure Fitness Profile — quick-setup wizard
• Try Pro Free for 7 Days — start the card-free trial
• Upgrade to Pro — subscribe (monthly or annual)
• Manage Subscription — open the Stripe Customer Portal (update card, switch plan, cancel)
• Sign In — optional email magic-link sign-in
• Privacy — view what's collected / toggle telemetry

How it works

1. Commit detection. A filesystem watcher on .git/logs/HEAD notices new commits. No polling, no background daemon.
2. Significance check. Commits are compared against the detection thresholds. Trivial commits are ignored.
3. Cooldown check. Ensures enough time has passed since the last nudge.
4. Sprint inference. Detects the current sprint phase (start / mid / end) via fixed-calendar, branch-name, or commit-cadence mode.
5. Routine planning. Picks a 3–5 minute sequence from the exercise library, weighted by sprint phase and filtered by the user's fitness profile.
6. Notification + panel. Slides in a notification; on Do it!, opens the routine webview with a demo video, instructions, timer, and controls.

Privacy

Your code never leaves your machine — not file names, not commit messages, not a thing. The free tier sends only anonymous, opt-out usage counts (extension version, OS family, a random install id, and event counts) to help improve the extension — and it honors VS Code's global telemetry setting. We only learn your email if you choose to sign in or subscribe, and payments go through Stripe (we never see your card). Full details: gitnfit.dev/privacy.

Troubleshooting

• No suggestion after a commit: verify your commit crosses the thresholds (detection.minFilesChanged / minLinesChanged) and that you're not in cooldown. Output panel → "Extension Host" shows what the evaluator saw.
• Routine panel won't open: check Help → Toggle Developer Tools for webview errors. Most often a corporate CSP policy on the user-data dir.
• Wrong sprint phase: confirm .gitnfit.json sprint.anchorDate is correct; or switch sprint.mode to disabled to fall back to generic routines.
