## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 41/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 19, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3850, "days_push": 488, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
A Rust CLI tool that amends git commits with whitespace until the commit hash starts with a desired prefix (default '0000000'). It uses GPU acceleration via OpenCL, with a multithreaded CPU fallback.

## Use cases
- make git commit hashes start with zeros
- create vanity git commit hashes
- customize the prefix of a git commit sha
- brute-force a specific git hash prefix
- amend a commit to get a lucky hash

## When to choose
- you want a specific or aesthetic git commit hash prefix
- you want fast hash search with GPU acceleration
- you want a simple cargo-installable CLI

## When to avoid
- you need signed commits, since amending breaks signatures
- you cannot modify commit history
- you lack a GPU and need very long hash prefixes (CPU is ~20x slower)

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
