The problem Git is where developers lose time and work: panicked recoveries from a bad reset/rebase, hand-writing commit messages, untangling branches before a PR, and — for newcomers — not understanding a repo's history at all. A plain LLM will happily guess git reset --hard and destroy your work, because it can't see your actual repository. The solution GitBob makes IBM Bob a git expert for your real repo. You talk to Bob in plain English. Bob — running in a custom 👷 GitBob mode — reads the actual repository state through GitBob's MCP tools, explains what it found, proposes the exact commands with their risk, and only acts after you approve. Destructive operations require a second, explicit confirmation. Remove Bob and nothing works: Bob does all the reasoning, planning, and recovery — GitBob just gives it safe hands.
