NAME

       gitbrute - brute-force a git commit hash to a given prefix

SYNOPSIS

       gitbrute -prefix deadbeef

DESCRIPTION

       gitbrute  amends  the top commit in a git repository, altering commit-time and author-time
       to have the commit's hash start with the given prefix.

OPTIONS

       -prefix 000000
              Specifies the hash prefix to search for.  Obviously, the expected time required  to
              find it grows exponentially with the prefix's length.

       -force true
              If  the  current  commit already matches the prefix, it will be replaced by another
              one.

       -cpus 64
              Specifies the level of parallelism; defaults to  number  of  online  processors  at
              startup.
