Is Git safe and trustworthy?

tashan scores Git on public evidence — tashan score 80.0/100, it is currently active, no known advisories against the current release, its declared dependencies reach: shell. Audit scope: OSV advisories, install-time scripts, build provenance and declared permission surface. We do not review source code or execute the capability.

How do I install Git?

In Claude Code: run `claude mcp add cyanheads-git-mcp-server -- npx -y @cyanheads/git-mcp-server`. In Cursor / Claude Desktop, add it to mcp.json / claude_desktop_config.json.

You are reading this because you came looking. tashan Pro gives tashan doctor the history behind it, so a run over your own config says which of YOURS moved.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.
