About these Git tools
Git tools generate gitignore files, conventional commit messages, branch names, config snippets, aliases, README and license starters, and they explain blame, reset, rebase, and workflows. Diff viewer and secrets scanner work on text you paste. Nothing clones your repo on our servers.
The educational helpers (reset, rebase, workflow) are diagrams and command builders so you can see what a flag does before you run it on a real repository. They do not execute Git.
