### Description

OSINT tool to extract info about persons from git repositories: common names, emails, matches between different (as it may seems) accounts.

### Using

1. **Install git**

2. Run:

        # from any git url

        ./gitcolombo.py -u https://github.com/Kalanchyovskaia16/newlps

        # from directory, recursively

        ./gitcolombo.py -d ./newlps -r

        # from all GitHub personal/org repos by nickname

        ./gitcolombo.py --nickname LubyRuffy

For batch cloning from Gitlab and Bitbucket group repos you can use [ghorg](https://github.com/gabrie30/ghorg).

Output:

- verbose persons info

  - name

  - email

  - number of appearences as author/committer 

  - other persons that person can be

- emails used for the same name

- different names for the same person

- general statistics

### What's the difference between git author and committer?

TL;DR

- author wrote the code (make the patch)

- commiter commit it to the repo (rewrite history, make pull/merge requests...)

Nice explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18750808/difference-between-author-and-committer-in-git

Very often developers make inaccurate commits with the one name/email (e.g. work account), then change to the right (e.g. personal account) and make `git commit --amend`, but forget to change the author of the commit.

This way we can use it for OSINT as match of names/emails from git history.

### TODO

- [x] Total statistics for repos in a directory

- [ ] Check different names for every email

- [x] GitHub support: clone all repos from account/group

- [ ] GitHub support: api pagination

- [x] GitHub support: extract links to accounts from commit info

- [ ] Exclude "system" accounts (e.g. [email protected])

- [ ] Probabilistic graph links based on same names/emails and Levenshtein distance

- [ ] Other popular git platforms: Gitlab, Bitbucket and also
