All I did was install GitButler via my OS's package manager, and open a local repo via the GUI.
And I saw these malicious (pre-commit) git hooks installed by GitButler, without any confirmation, or prompt seeking my approval.
I'm sure you folks will come up with a "technical explanation" or some "legal-marketing language" to cover up for this — but in my book — redirect `git commit` to `but commit` is dishonest and unethical.

- factorialboy 5mo agoSilently replacing Git with `but`.
