Why do people care about this? I never understood why Github features things like "longest commit streak" so prominently.

I like the commit streak statistic because, when I attempt to maintain a long streak, I get into the habit of committing something - even something small - once a day. Once I've made even the slightest change, I'm more likely to keep working. I find that it's a good motivator.

I would love it if, for things like my work repo, I could count "Don't break the chain of weekday commits" -- I would prefer not to be penalized for not working on the weekend. :)

I love the don't break the chain thing but just wanted to point out that Jerry Seinfeld said in an AMA on Reddit that he did not invent that program http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1ujvrg/jerry_seinfeld_...

It's totally superficial, but I find it fun. It's something to check once in a while and be like "hey, I have a dark green box. I wonder how many times I committed that day."
When I left my previous job, they revoked my Github access and I lost 3k commits on the calendar and it was a bummer. I wasn't throwing a fit or anything. I just had to start over :).
