Show HN: Claudit – Claude Code Conversations as Git Notes, Automatically

Uses agent and Git Hooks to automatically create Git Notes on commit, containing the agent conversation that led to that commit. Works if either you or the agent commit.

It's basically the same thing as entire.io just announced that they got $60m investment for. Except I got Claude Code to write it last week, in my spare time, without really paying attention. I certainly didn't read or write any of the code, except for one rubbish joke in the README.

I've got a Claude Code instance working on Gemini CLI support and OpenCode support currently.
