AI coding agents run commands with your permissions, including your SSH keys
and Git credentials. A single unattended git push can force-push over shared
history, delete a branch or publish unreviewed code, and that is hard to undo
once it reaches the server.
git-watchdog removes push access while an agent is running. As long as a
watched process is alive (by default the Claude CLI and Claude Desktop), it
puts the remotes of your local repositories in read-only mode:
git push fails instead of reaching the server.When the process exits, the original remotes are restored exactly as they were. It guards against accidental pushes, not a determined attacker; see https://github.com/dobicinaitis/git-watchdog#security-notes

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install git-watchdog, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install git-watchdog
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
