4git

Scripts that help Git repositories to compliance with GDPR by allowing forget user information.

The 4Git project aims at allowing organizations, CTO and developers repositories get compliance with the GDPR. The article 17 requires that the data subject shall have the right to erase its data ("right to be forgotten"). The problem is that changing the Git history is dangerous and usually not desirable. For that context, we propose 4Git which pseudonymize the user information in commits and keep safe Git history.

Installation

make

Usage example

Development setup

To contribute to this project, we offer some tools:

creating a new command:

You just need to add a file in commands/ within the git pattern 4git-[newcommand] (e.g., to add command commit, use 4git-commit). For now, you need write your commands in shell script.

testing your commands:

You can use the experiments/ which correspond to possible contexts of Git repositories.

To run a experiment, execute make exp N="n", where n is a experiment id (i.e. "01", "02" etc).
To watch the git files from your running experiment, execute make watch-exp.
Your experiment is running in running/. There you can play as if was any other git repository.
To clean your experiment, make clean.

Few free to add new experiments.
