GreenTips is a tool that enables developers to explore alternative sustainable design patterns by giving information in the form of tips during coding. It aims to optimize code in order to save energy consumption. It essentially promotes sustainable coding practices and increases sustainability awareness for developers in a format that is non-intrusive and low-effort.

We introduce GreenTips, a cross-platform commandline interface (CLI) that provides developers with daily suggestions of general-purpose, sustainability oriented design patterns, along with additional resources for further learning. The tool aims to communicate sustainability principles in software development through a digestible, high-level format that supports the development of sustainability literacy among developers without imposing significant additional time demands.
