What is ShadowGit?
ShadowGit provides AI assistants with access to your complete code history by automatically saving every keystroke and change made during development. This architecture-aware Git solution runs invisibly in the background, connecting automatically with your existing AI tools without requiring any configuration. The tool captures automatic snapshots of your codebase, allowing AI to search through historical changes to identify exactly what broke and restore working code instantly when issues arise.
All code history remains 100% local on your machine, ensuring complete privacy with no cloud uploads or AI training on your work. ShadowGit enables fearless experimentation by providing one-click restoration capabilities when AI suggestions break code, reducing debugging cycles from hours to seconds. The solution works with any AI coding assistant and requires just two minutes to set up, after which it operates transparently while you code normally.
