## What it is
Gitdown is a novelty git commit-msg hook written in Ruby that gates commits based on your blood alcohol content, measured via an Arduino DrinkShield breathalyzer. It offers normal, 'krunk', and 'baller' modes and can mangle commit messages and post results to Tumblr.

## Use cases

- gate commits on blood alcohol content
- use a breathalyzer with git hooks
- novelty hackathon project with Arduino
- mangle commit messages when intoxicated

## When to choose

- you already own an Arduino with a DrinkShield breathalyzer attachment

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained or production-ready tool
- you don't have the required Arduino DrinkShield hardware
- you need a license or long-term support
