GitTools is a collection of three shell/Python scripts for finding and exploiting websites that publicly expose their .git directory. It includes a finder for scanning domains, a dumper for downloading exposed repositories, and an extractor for recovering commits from incomplete repositories.

Use cases

• find websites with publicly exposed .git directories
• download a .git repository from a web server without directory listing
• recover source code from an incomplete or broken git repository
• scan a list of domains for leaked git repositories
• extract commits and file contents from a partially downloaded repo
• audit my own sites for accidentally exposed .git folders

When to choose

• you are doing a penetration test or security audit for exposed .git directories
• you need to reconstruct source code from a partially accessible .git folder
• you want simple, dependency-light scripts for git exposure research

When to avoid

• you need a full-featured web vulnerability scanner
• the target repository is fully packed into pack-files, which the dumper may fail to recover
• you lack authorization to test the target, as usage may be illegal
