Octogriffin: A Habitica x GitHub Integration. It's amazing, really.
Description and use
<h2> Me and Habitica </h2> <p>I'll be honest: I'm not really that much of a Habitica user. I learned about it from my colleague. Signed up for an account, thought the gamification was cool, and that's it.</p> <p>Used it a bit, then I had the most cliché thought a developer could have: <em>I need to automate this.</em> Let's be honest: nobody wants to manually push a button when they commit something at work, open a PR, or review somebody else's PR. Nobody.</p> <p>Pitched the idea to my colleagues. They thought it was cool, but everyone's busy with work. There was no out-of-the-box solution yet
