I'm on day 55 of a github streak, and it's been really good for me. It has motivated me to take my main project [0] farther than I would have otherwise, and it has pushed me to improve my overall git workflow.
One thing that might affect my streak is the use of feature branches. I'm a hobbyist-getting-more-serious programmer, and I am just getting away from the lazy habit of pushing every commit to master. But branch commits don't count towards your contributions until you merge them, and I'm not sure how that affects streaks.
That said, if the point is to just make a commit each day and you're not measuring that with a github streak, there's no difficulty. I like these goals; I'm always curious to see if announcements of good intentions like this go anywhere.
