Legit

Legit adds Proof of Work (PoW) to a git commit hash prefix.

install rustup:

curl -sSf https://static.rust-lang.org/rustup.sh | sh

cargo:

cargo install legit

Example

git log | grep "0000006"

commit 000000615b90566ae8559dd45852190edea79a8c

Usage

To create a commit with a subject and a multi-line body, use the -m flag multiple times. The first instance of -m will be the commit subject, and each subsequent instance will be a new line in the commit body.

Command Syntax

gnostr legit -m "<subject>" -m "<body_line_1>" -m "<body_line_2>" ...

Example

This is the command used to successfully create a commit:

cargo run --bin gnostr -- legit \

  -m "fix(legit): improve error handling and argument parsing" \

  -m "Replaced panics with graceful error handling in gnostr-legit." \

  -m "Improved directory creation logic to prevent errors." \

  -m "Enabled multi-line commit messages with multiple -m flags."

This resulted in the following commit message:

fix(legit): improve error handling and argument parsing



Replaced panics with graceful error handling in gnostr-legit.

Improved directory creation logic to prevent errors.

Enabled multi-line commit messages with multiple -m flags.

Important Note

The command-line parser currently has a limitation: body lines cannot begin with a hyphen (-). If a line starts with a hyphen, the parser will mistakenly interpret it as a command-line flag and the command will fail.
