ShadowGit

ShadowGit is a local code versioning tool designed to provide AI assistants with comprehensive code history and memory. It addresses the challenge of AI tools lacking context about previous code changes, which often leads to repeated explanations and inefficient debugging. By capturing every keystroke and automatically saving all changes, ShadowGit enables AI assistants to access the full evolution of a codebase, helping them identify what changed and fix bugs more effectively.

The tool operates entirely on the user's machine, ensuring that code history remains private and is never uploaded to the cloud or used for AI training. ShadowGit offers automatic snapshots of code, allowing users to restore previous versions with a single click if an AI suggestion breaks something. It integrates with AI assistants by providing them with access to the stored code history, enabling instant bug identification and restoration of working code. Features highlighted include one-click restore, automatic backups, and the ability for AI tools to connect without configuration. ShadowGit is compatible with any AI assistant, including those like Claude, Cursor, and Copilot, through its MCP server.

Setup is designed to be simple, requiring only a two-minute installation, after which the tool runs in the background and connects automatically to AI tools. Developers do not need to change their workflow; every change is captured automatically, and the AI can immediately utilize the code history for debugging and code suggestions. gitignore files, ensuring that only relevant files are tracked.

The pricing model is a one-time fee of $29 for a lifetime license, with a seven-day free trial and a full refund guarantee if not satisfied. The AI integration component is open source and free to use, and users can review the source code themselves. ShadowGit is positioned as a solution for developers seeking local, private, and AI-enhanced code versioning and debugging capabilities.
