Arcade Mode
The one where a git tool has a high score
You found it. Congratulations.
gitswitch pacmanIt's a light switch, not a party trick — run it once and gitswitch launches in arcade mode from then on. Run it again to go back to being a serious professional tool.
What changes
- An intro animation, every launch, because once is not enough
- Double borders, pellet-separated tabs,
▶ INSERT COINinstead of▶ Start Setup - Arcade skins for all three tabs —
SHELL HOOK,SAVE FILE LOCATION, and friends - A HIGH SCORE line
Everything still works exactly as normal. You can pin repos and route pushes with a score counter on screen. Nobody will know.
Scoring
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Switch identity | 200 |
| Add or edit an account | 500 |
The factory high score is 5000 — deliberately beatable. Your high score persists across restarts (it's arcade_hi_score in ~/.config/gitswitch/config.json), which means yes, it is technically possible to grind git identity management.
The markers change too
The scope markers get arcade counterparts:
| Normal | Arcade | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
✓ | ★ | your global identity |
● | ◆ | pinned to this repo |
◉ | ✦ | pinned and global |
◆ | ▲ | this terminal's session |
Themes
Not arcade-specific, but while you're here — c in the TUI cycles 12 color themes:
Default · Ocean · Sunset · Forest · Mono · Rose · Arctic · Gold · Violet · Ember · Matrix · Steel
Your choice is saved. Matrix is exactly what you think it is.
