[![Travis Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/liamg/gitjacker.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/liamg/gitjacker)

Gitjacker downloads git repositories and extracts their contents from sites where the `.git` directory has been mistakenly uploaded. It will still manage to recover a significant portion of a repository even where directory listings are disabled.

For educational/penetration testing use only.
