## What it is
GitHack is a Python CLI exploit tool that reconstructs a website's source code from an exposed .git folder. It parses the .git/index file, downloads objects from .git/objects, decompresses them, and rewrites the original directory structure.

## Use cases
- recover source code from an exposed .git directory on a web server
- test whether my site leaks its .git folder
- rebuild a project's files during a penetration test
- audit leaked source code for web vulnerabilities like SQL injection
- download all blobs referenced by a leaked git index

## When to choose
- you need a simple, fast script to exploit .git folder disclosure
- you want to preserve the original directory structure when reconstructing files
- you prefer a lightweight Python tool with no heavy dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured git client or general-purpose git recovery
- you require an actively maintained tool with ongoing releases
- you need a tool with a formal license for commercial use

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, web-scraping, parser, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools, version-control
- platform: python, cli, windows
