DotGit - Check for Exposed .git Folders

"DotGit" is a Chrome extension that helps users identify exposed .git, .svn, .hg folders, and sensitive files like .env and .DS_Store on websites. It notifies users when vulnerabilities are found, lists exposed sites, and even allows downloading of entire .git folders in zip format. Additionally, it checks if sites are open source or have a security.txt file, providing vital security insights while browsing. Customize options for colors, notifications, and downloads to suit your needs.
