### Disclaimer
**Use this software at your own risk!**
You should know that if the repository you are downloading is controlled by an attacker,
this could lead to remote code execution on your machine.
## Build from source
Simply install the dependencies with pip:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
Then, simply use:
```
./git_dumper.py http://website.com/.git ~/website
```
## How does it work?
The tool will first check if directory listing is available. If it is, then it will just recursively download the .git directory (what you would do with `wget`).
If directory listing is not available, it will use several methods to find as many files as possible. Step by step, git-dumper will:
* Fetch all common files (`.gitignore`, `.git/HEAD`, `.git/index`, etc.);
* Find as many refs as possible (such as `refs/heads/master`, `refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, etc.) by analyzing `.git/HEAD`, `.git/logs/HEAD`, `.git/config`, `.git/packed-refs` and so on;
* Find as many objects (sha1) as possible by analyzing `.git/packed-refs`, `.git/index`, `.git/refs/*` and `.git/logs/*`;
* Fetch all objects recursively, analyzing each commits to find their parents;
* Run `git checkout .` to recover the current working tree
