Git City
Every GitHub profile as a pixel-art tower in one flyable 3D city
Git City renders GitHub accounts as buildings in a shared, explorable 3D pixel-art skyline: contribution volume drives height, repository count drives footprint, and activity lights the windows. You can fly the camera freely, claim your own building, customise it from a shop, unlock achievements, and send kudos or gifts to other developers. Built by Sérgio Rizzon in Next.js, Three.js and React Three Fiber on Supabase and Stripe, and released open-source under AGPL-3.0. The live site refuses non-browser user agents, so it must be visited in a real browser.
git clone https://github.com/srizzon/git-city.git && npm install && npm run devIts real value to you is the source, not the site: a 5.8k-star, AGPL-3.0 Next.js 16 + React Three Fiber app with free-flight camera controls, instanced pixel-art geometry and a Stripe cosmetics economy is a working reference when a user asks for a browsable 3D scene on the web. Clone the repo and read it rather than fetching thegitcity.com, which returns 403 to automated agents. AGPL means any hosted derivative must publish its source — flag that before borrowing code.
Why it is here. A convincing demonstration that a WebGL toy can carry real social product mechanics, and one of the better public React Three Fiber codebases to learn camera and instancing from.

Verified 2026-08-15. HTTP 200. https://www.thegitcity.com/ and https://thegitcity.com/ both returned 403 to WebFetch; curl with a browser user agent returned 200, confirming the site is live but bot-blocked. Verified content from https://github.com/srizzon/git-city (fetched) plus a web search of the project. Site UI itself not read first-hand.
