How it works

One good push changes everything.

Your work stays in your repo. Here's what happens in the game, step by step.

Connect GitHub

  • Sign in with GitHub and install the Vigilante app only on the repos you choose.
  • Set a daily commit target, like 2 commits a day, and pick your time zone.
  • That's the whole setup. You keep coding in your own editor.
Step 1 of 7

Real, verified GitHub work is the only thing that moves your progress. Logins and payments never create a verified day.

The settlement

From quiet ruins to a place worth saving.

Use supplies from verified days to rebuild Lantern District. Upgrade buildings, welcome survivors and bring warmth back to the streets.

  • Build and upgradeEvery level is visible in your town. The Salvage Yard keeps producing while your streak is alive.
  • Meet the survivorsEach one has a role, works at their own building and joins your builds.
  • Follow the JourneyA 100-level story in 10 chapters, each with its own painted map.

Revival Fluid

Mend a miss. Earn it, buy it, or get 2 a month with Pro. It never creates a verified day.

Your code stays yours

We verify the push, never the code.

Vigilante only reads GitHub's push alert. Here's exactly what that means.

Good to know

Straight answers.

What is Vigilante?

Vigilante is a free browser game for developers that turns real, GitHub-verified daily work into progress. You pick one repository and a daily commit target; each day GitHub's push notification verifies the work and a supply crate lands in a post-apocalyptic town you rebuild. It works as a GitHub streak tracker and a coding habit tracker, and it's made by OCIX.

Does Vigilante read my source code?

No. Vigilante only uses GitHub's push alert: commit IDs, timestamps and counts. Changed file names are checked in memory to filter lock/config-only changes and are never stored. It never clones your repository or requests code or diffs. GitHub labels the app permission 'read contents' because push alerts need it. Commit messages are saved only if you turn on sharing them.

What counts as a meaningful commit?

Code and documentation both count toward your daily target in your chosen repository, including documentation-only commits such as a README or setup guide. Merge commits, empty commits, and changes limited to lock files or setup/config files (such as .gitignore or .editorconfig) don't count.

What happens if I miss a day?

Your town pauses and the Salvage Yard stops producing, but nothing you built is lost. Revival Fluid mends a missed day: earn one by finishing a 7-day check-in (up to one a month), buy a pack, or get 2 a month with Pro. A mended day never counts as a verified day.

Is Vigilante free?

Yes. Verified days, supply crates, building, survivors, daily check-ins, missions and the daily share card are free. Pro is optional, and the app shows the exact price before checkout.

What does Pro add?

Twice the build speed, 2 Revival Fluid every month, advanced Insights, a second repository per goal and premium share designs. Verified GitHub work still sets the pace for everyone.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, any time from Settings. Your account closes immediately and personal and game data are erased after 3 days. Sign in before the scheduled date to cancel. We keep anonymous totals with identifying feedback redacted, plus payment records the law requires; the GitHub App is uninstalled where possible.
