ShadowGit records code changes and creates a searchable timeline to help developers understand how a project evolved. It can restore an earlier version, follow .gitignore patterns, and keep its history in a separate .shadowgit folder. Its AI assistant connections can search code history to help investigate bugs, while read-only access is described for that history.
The tool is aimed at developers and teams using coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Windsurf, and others. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Check which integrations are supported by the current release, along with plan and licence details, before buying.
