heydad

Your terminal has feelings now.

A CLI that roasts you like a disappointed Irish dad when your code fails, and hypes you up like a proud dad when it passes. With real voice acting.

$ heydad test
Running: npm test

  FAIL  src/auth.test.ts

😞  I spent thirty years working the farm so you could go to university
    and write code that doesn't even compile. Thirty. Years.

$ heydad test
Running: npm test

  PASS  src/auth.test.ts

🎉  JAYSUS CHRIST ON A BICYCLE! GREEN ACROSS THE BOARD!
    I'M SO PROUD I MIGHT ACTUALLY CRY AND I HAVEN'T CRIED SINCE ITALIA '90!

Auto-detects: npm, pytest, cargo, go test, make test

heydad commit

Commits your code. Dad reacts based on the diff size.

Why?

Developers spend hours alone, staring at terminals. Test failures feel defeating. Successes go uncelebrated. There's no emotional feedback loop — just cold exit codes.

heydad fixes that. Finally, the mass-validation you needed.
