# scrabble
A simple tool to recover Git repositories from exposed `.git` folders on remote servers.
## Quick Start
1. **Download the script:**
```bash
curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denny0223/scrabble/refs/heads/master/scrabble
```
2. **Make it executable:**
```bash
chmod +x scrabble
```
3. **Run the script:**
```bash
./scrabble [directory]
```
## Usage
`scrabble [directory]`
### Arguments:
* ``: The full URL to the repository's `.git` directory (e.g., `http://example.com/my-project.git/`).
* `[directory]` (Optional): The local directory to clone the repository into.
* If not provided, the script defaults to a directory name derived from the URL (e.g., `my-project` from `http://example.com/my-project.git/`).
### Important Notes:
* You need to make sure the target URL has an exposed `.git` folder.
* The script will **not** overwrite an existing directory. If the target directory already exists, the script will exit with an error to prevent accidental data loss. Please remove the existing directory or choose a different name.
* This tool is designed to clone a repository into a **new, empty directory**. Do not run it inside an existing Git repository, as it will overwrite its contents.
## Example
```bash
# Clone to a directory named 'my-project'
scrabble http://example.com/my-project.git/
# Clone to a specific directory named 'my-local-repo'
scrabble http://example.com/my-project.git/ my-local-repo
```
