## What it is
GitFive is a Python-based OSINT CLI tool for investigating GitHub user profiles. It uncovers usernames, name history, email addresses, and secondary accounts by analyzing profiles, commits, and SSH keys.

## Use cases
- track down a GitHub user by username
- find a GitHub account from an email address
- identify emails tied to a GitHub target
- discover secondary GitHub accounts of a person
- dump a user's SSH public keys
- export GitHub investigation results as JSON

## When to choose
- you need to link email addresses to GitHub accounts during an investigation
- you want to enumerate identities and usernames used by a GitHub target
- you prefer a low-API-consumption tool that respects rate limits

## When to avoid
- you need OSINT on platforms other than GitHub
- you want a GUI-based investigation tool
- you plan to embed it in a paid automated service without the author's agreement
