I thought it would be useful to automate some other techniques I found to extract code, configs and other information from a git repo identified in a web root that was not 100% cloneable. Gitpillage extracts as much knowledge about the repo as possible through predictable file names and known object hashes.
Basic requirements usually fulfilled by any *nix system.
- bash
- wget or curl
- grep
- awk
gitpillage.sh hostname/directory
(directory is optional)
Example:
`gitpillage.sh www.example.com/images (would crawl http://example.com/images/.git/)`
`gitpillage.sh www.example.com (would crawl http://example.com/.git/)`
cat: Moved: No such file or directory cat: Permanently</h1>: No such file or directory cat: document: No such file or directory cat: (Unix): No such file or directory
Chances are you are getting hit with a redirect. If you are trying to pillage example.com try www.example.com instead.
