Typeit

Practice typing with real code from your projects or GitHub repositories. A Go rewrite of GitType, built with Charmbracelet.

Install

macOS / Linux — no Go, Python, or compiler needed:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/michaelmjhhhh/typeit/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

The installer chooses your architecture, verifies SHA-256, and installs to ~/.local/bin. Follow its PATH instruction if that directory is not on your PATH. Run the same command to update.

Windows — download typeit_windows_amd64.zip from Releases, extract it, and run typeit.exe in a terminal. macOS/Linux archives are also available there.

Use

typeit                              # Practice with the current directory
typeit /path/to/project --langs go
typeit --repo owner/repository      # Requires Git
typeit history                      # Past sessions
typeit --help                       # All commands

Choose a difficulty with ←/→, press Space to begin, and Esc to pause. Includes 20 languages, five difficulties, Charmbracelet-inspired themes, scores, and session history.

Develop

Requires Go 1.26.1+, Python 3.9+, a C compiler, and Git.

make build
./bin/typeit .
