A Git Murder Mystery

A murder had been committed in Git Town!

To solve it you'll need to muster all your git knowledge (or just google a bunch).

NOTICE

This is a product of another repository, https://github.com/nivbend/gitstery-generator. As such, contributions are accepted only on that repository and not here. Feel free to post any issues, suggestions or pull-requests on the "generator" project and improve this game for everyone!

Also, because this is a randomly-generated repository, sharing "public" history is impossible as it gets rewritten every time. So in contrast to most repositories, this one gets updated by git push --force (though that's usually considered bad practice). If you have a copy of this repository and want to "pull" the latest version, it would probably be easiest to just delete the current version and clone this repository again.

Instructions

Clone this repository (this isn't meant to be solved using GitHub's interface):

$ git clone https://github.com/nivbend/gitstery.git
$ cd gitstery/

Then follow the instructions in instructions.txt.

The mystery was built so that solving it can be done with git commands and git commands alone. If you want a git way of reading the instructions, try:

git cat-file blob HEAD:instructions.txt

Who is this for?

The target audience are intermediate git users, this is not meant to be a tutorial for git newcomers. But feel free to try your hand at this if you'd like! Don't let random README.md files on the internet tell you what you can or cannot do.
