Subject: git non-intrusive clone
Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2026 10:40:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e30c5b13-5ca3-43d1-a87a-d807b71bad7b@app.fastmail.com> (raw)

Hey everyone,
I am reading more and more blog posts about job interviews that require the people to git clone a malicious repo with commands executed using git hooks. 
I wonder if we could have a 
`git clone --non-intrusive ...` 
That would disable all git settings set within the repo. 
Maybe by adding a `.nogitconfig` file or something, so that the developers remember that because of this file, he cannot push or fetch, or use any `.git/` defined stuff. 

I hope this is the right channel, sorry if it's not. 

Thank you for all your work,
Kind regards
Luca

Cordialement
