## gitstery

- You can take a look in [progress.txt] to see my logic flow to solve

  the mystery (it's randomly structured, sorry)

- [search_murder.sh] it's a hacking way to solve this: it

  collects all residents available and crack the solution by

  brute-force (I swear I did this AFTER solving normally first :p)

- To try it yourself you need to clone the original git repository

  too, since all the metadata of git it's important to solve the problem

- This murder-solving it was my first, so it's documented very poorly

- the commands `git rev-list`, `git grep` and `git hash-object` it was a interesting discover

[search_murder.sh]: /gitstery/search_murder.sh

## clmystery

- I have a [did.txt] log file about my thought process in details

- In the script [commands.sh] it contains all the shell commands to

  cross data and info to find the **fucking murder**. It combine the

  clues individually until just one suspect remains in the end.

- Basically a lot of grep and pipes, though (learn about grep context (-C|-B-A) too)

[commands.sh]: /clmystery/commands.sh

[did.txt]: /clmystery/did.txt

## SQL Mysteries

- I solve each one SQL query per once locally using a SQLite Browser that has

capabilities to run SQL queries.

- Take a look in the [queries] directory to understand the flow.

- You can execute each one individually to understand all the

  solution.
