🔥 Git Blame but Roast

Inline Ghost Text Italic ghost text decorations appear right next to blamed lines
Roast This Line Command palette trigger for roasting the current cursor line
Hall of Shame Full-file roast report in a beautiful Webview panel

Toggle Inline Enable/disable ghost text on demand

  "gitRoast.showOnHover": true,
  "gitRoast.roastSelf": true
}
Setting Type Default Description

🎭 Roast Rules

The roast engine checks these conditions and scores each line:

Rule Trigger
Lazy commit message Commit message ≤ 4 chars
Vintage code Commit older than 2 years
Eternal TODO Line contains // TODO
TypeScript any Line contains any keyword
Bracket soup Nesting depth ≥ 3 levels
Debug fossil Line contains console.log
Nuclear CSS Line contains !important
Line width enjoyer Line > 120 characters
Temporary forever Commit message has "temp", "wip", "test", etc.
Magic number wizard Unexplained numeric literals
Error silencer Empty catch block

Higher score = more roastable = appears at the top of the Hall of Shame.

🙈 Disclaimer

All roasts are generated locally — no external API calls, no data leaves your machine. Roasts are PG-13 and target code quality, not people personally. If you feel personally attacked, that's between you and your commit history.
