A version control system for unresolved emotions, existential dread, and poorly committed relationships. Because sometimes you need to git blame your past to move forward.
"I uploaded a feeling. Git refused to track it."
💬 "It worked on my machine, but not on my heart."
— a developer in denial
.gothub is not your average Git repo. It's a terminal-punk playground for versioning your feelings, stashing your tears, and merging your heartbreak. Built for developers who wear black eyeliner and write Bash scripts at 3 a.m., it's a parody of Git that processes the human condition with sarcastic puns and melancholic wit.
git blame past_love # Who broke your heart in line 42?
git stash tears # Save your crying for later
git checkout old_self # Revert to who you were before *that* relationship
git merge existential_dread # Attempt to reconcile with reality (merge conflicts guaranteed)
git commit -m "still broken" # Immortalize your pain
git push regrets origin/master # Share your suffering with the world- Clone the void:
git clone https://gothub.com/user/.gothub.git
- Install dependencies (requires a broken heart):
pip install sadness==0.0.1 npm install --save-dev loneliness cargo build --release --from-trauma
- Configure your user.soul:
git config --global user.name "Wistful Coder" git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
- Run the emotional pipeline:
make cry
Running make cry initiates the full breakdown: tears are collected, feelings are re-indexed, and existential bugs are logged.
Proceed only if your heart is ready.
💡 Emotional readiness check via hooks/pre-commit is enforced.
Sometimes, it's okay to not commit.
Use with caution, and always stash your tears before merging.
Some things aren't meant to be versioned. See .gothubignore:

They live in memory, not in the repo.
- 💔 Memory leaks when revisiting old scars
- 😢 Infinite loops of regret on
git blame - 🐛 Occasional breakage of trust.exe leading to fatal runtime errors
- 😴 Performance dips during bouts of existential dread
- 🕳️ Occasional black hole where all motivation disappears
- 💔 Heartbreak cache sometimes fails to clear properly
- 😭 Emotional overflow when processing too many feelings at once
Want to help fix some bugs in the heart?
Fork, clone, and submit a pull request to help heal the repository's soul.
Don't forget to run make cry before pushing — emotional tests are mandatory!
Help is available, but you have to ask for it.
Try man feelings, or just message a friend.
Remember: git push is not a substitute for therapy.
Q: Can I really git stash tears?
A: Only if you remember where you put them.
Q: What happens if I git reset --hard on my feelings?
A: You might lose unresolved baggage — but some scars don't disappear that easily.
Q: How do I resolve a merge conflict in my soul?
A: Sometimes you don't. You just learn to live with it.
Q: Is it normal to cry during code review?
A: Absolutely. Emotional code reviews are the most honest ones.
Q: Can I revert emotional damage?
A: You can try git revert, but some wounds run deeper than version control.

Share it with #dotGothub on Twitter or wherever you rant about code and life.
Let's build a community of beautifully broken devs.
📜 Every commit is a confession. Read them, if you must: commit_log.txt.
Most of the baggage is unpacked. The README.md wept itself into shape, the LICENSE finally admitted its terms, and .gothubignore knows what not to talk about. The pipeline is breaking as expected.
You're not staring into the void anymore — it's versioned, linted, and documented.
Still, if something feels missing, it probably is.
Check the commit history for emotional context.
