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.
You keep using the word malicious, what do you mean? What is the malice?
Yeah it feels malicious if it doesn't tell you it's going to do that, like a sneaky lock-in
Silently replacing Git with `but`.
