## What it is
A joke shell script that rewrites git commit authorship so blame falls on someone else. It's a novelty tool not intended for production repositories.

## Use cases
- prank a coworker by faking git blame authorship
- rewrite commit author and committer fields
- demonstrate how git history rewriting works
- change who authored a commit

## When to choose
- you want a quick one-command novelty for git blame pranks
- you need a simple shell-based commit author rewrite demo

## When to avoid
- any production or shared repository
- you need safe, supported history rewriting tools like git filter-repo
- you require robustness or error handling

## Facets

- function: version-control, cli, developer-tools
- domain: version-control, developer-tools
