> Your pet will gain XP as you code in either mode.

Feature request: the pet gets extra experience in certain situations, e.g.:

* when a failing build gets fixed

* when a previously red test gets green

* when the typing speed is sufficiently high

* when a commit is made that removes a lot of code

* when a commit is made that increases code coverage

* etc…

These are great ideas. It'd be fun to make virtual pets that only lived / grew through GitHub actions and then were updated in the project readme
I really like these - I have an XP boost/ buff PR in the works which activates when you reach a typing velocity (and adds a cool swirling effect around your character).

Git integration would be low hanging fruit so could def add that in. (build/ testing/ ci integrations would be trickier I suspect?)
