# Gitcolombo
### 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
