A developer created a prank tool called Git Shitstorm that silently corrupts Git history by randomly inserting code changes from the repository. The tool works by aliasing the git command and acting like Russian roulette—90% of the time it does nothing, but 10% of the time it selects random files, authors, and code snippets to inject into commits. Implemented in Go for speed, it adds minimal latency (under 100ms) making it nearly undetectable. The author emphasizes this is for educational and entertainment purposes only, warning against using it maliciously on coworkers' repositories.
