git-universe

git-universe turns a GitHub repository into a living 3D star system and an idle strategy game. Settle language-shaped worlds, grow civilizations, build ships, explore darkzones, and engineer the star itself. Private repositories stay sealed behind a black hole, with nothing about their contents visible from outside.

Launch the universe

Public repositories only. This view uses aggregate language and commit totals, saves nothing, and has no game progression.

7 public repositories are charted as stars · 2 as black holes

Every public repo in git-universe gets a point inside this sphere. Private repos become black holes, counted here in total, but never named, and never shown inside the sphere.

A system

A public repo becomes a deterministic star system. A private repo becomes a content-blind black hole that yields only a fixed stream of Void Essence.

Living worlds

Each language becomes a planet whose size and palette follow its share of the code. Seas, continents, storms, volcanoes, rings, moons, species, and cities are generated from that world and remain part of its identity.

Your command

Collect resources, fabricate components, direct civilizations, equip a fleet, fly combat sectors, trade with other captains, and push a system from its first atmosphere all the way to an engineered event horizon.

The game, end to end

Start with one repository and keep widening the loop: production funds worlds, worlds fund technology, and technology opens the rest of the universe.

Read the full Field Manual

1. Chart a system

Import a repository from Manage. Only aggregate language totals, commit count, size, and visibility shape the result—never files, paths, messages, authors, or source code.

2. Build an economy

Give a world an atmosphere and its people begin producing a language-flavored mineral. Collect before its 24-hour storage fills, sell minerals for Credits, trade them on the player market, or turn them into components at the Crafting Bench.

3. Raise a civilization

Settlements grow on their own from first habitats to a stellar culture, faster with supplies. Choose traits with real trade-offs, give each world a role in its system, fund visible projects, and watch a world-born species evolve alongside its cities.

4. Answer a living world

Civilizations face decisions, windfalls, eruptions, floods, droughts, and raids shaped by the planet and its people. Your answers enter its chronicle, move your karma, and can make the profitable choice very different from the kind one.

5. Research and construct

Research spans quality of life, fleets, civilizations, markets, planetary engineering, refinement, and cosmic projects. Fabricate nested recipes, advance civilization eras, reforge finished worlds, evolve stars, and assemble Dyson structures.

6. Build and fly a fleet

Commission a starship, choose a hull, mount weapons and modules, load ammunition and fuel, then fly it yourself. Crack meteorites, repel raids, cross combat sectors, master weapons, and field offensive and defensive squadrons.

7. Explore beyond the repo

Send a repairable scout drone into darkzones for materials, schematics, and unknown systems. Annex a discovery or conquer its defenders, then connect your holdings with galaxies, warp gates, and neutron-star supply routes.

8. Decide what survives

At Blue Giant, collapse destructively for account-wide prestige or preserve the civilizations you spent weeks growing. Harness the neutron-star remnant, forge synthetic donor suns, and eventually form an inhabited black hole without erasing its worlds.

Play it your way

Idle when you want

Production, settlement growth, repairs, events, and expeditions resolve from the clock. There is no cron job demanding that the game stay open.

Hands-on when you want

Pilot your own ship, tune loadouts, fight sectors, inspect worlds in Focus, make event choices, and decide where the next costly project belongs.

Free to begin

Play as a guest or create an account, and keep progress when you connect a sign-in method. Stardust is earned in play and can also be purchased for hull and weapon pulls and cosmetic finishes.

Course 01
More ways to bring a repository
Expand beyond GitHub with other repository hosts and direct local-repository support, while keeping the same privacy-first aggregate data model.
Course 02
Scoped GitHub linking
Move repo import to a GitHub App with per-repo installation, so you can grant access to exactly the repos you want instead of everything you own.

Before you launch

WebGL2 required. A recent Chrome, Firefox, or Edge works out of the box. Safari needs version 15 or later (September 2021). Older Safari can't render this at all, not just slowly, and you'll see a fallback message instead of a blank screen.

The scene renders in real time with procedural surfaces, weather, ships, and postprocessing. Hardware-accelerated graphics make a real difference, but the Graphics quality setting can reduce clouds, effects, detail, and pixel density on integrated graphics and mobile devices.
