# GittyGotchi > A tiny creature that lives on your GitHub profile. GittyGotchi is a free web app at https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co. No login. No token. No OAuth or GitHub PAT. It does not read private repository contents. Only publicly exposed GitHub data is used. The first visit to a username page or SVG creates that Gitty as an unrevealed egg. Class is assigned at adoption. Growth follows public activity after that first visit. ## Add a Gitty to a GitHub README Replace YOUR_USERNAME with a real GitHub username: [![GittyGotchi](https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co/YOUR_USERNAME.svg)](https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co/YOUR_USERNAME) Or generate the snippet at https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co. Invalid placeholders such as YOUR_USERNAME.svg render the unrevealed egg so GitHub can display the image. ## Links - Home: https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co/ - Example: https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co/alpdogan - Example image: https://gittygotchi.alpdogan.co/alpdogan.svg
