Destructive Command Guard
The Destructive Command Guard (dcg) is for blocking dangerous git
Destructive Command Guard is a high-performance safety hook for AI coding agents and command-line workflows. It intercepts shell commands before execution and blocks operations that could erase files, rewrite Git history, destroy infrastructure, or remove data. The Rust implementation uses fast filtering and context-aware rules to distinguish dangerous execution from harmless text matches. Its modular security packs cover Git, filesystems, databases, containers, cloud platforms, Kubernetes, Terraform, and other tools. Users can inspect denials, enable agent-specific profiles, add allowlist entries, or temporarily bypass a rule when necessary. It also provides scan modes for CI and pre-commit checks, while a fail-open design avoids stopping work because of parser errors or timeouts. -

GeoIP
This project automatically generates GeoIP files in multiple formats
GeoIP is a community-maintained project that generates and publishes enhanced GeoIP/Geo-database and IP-location/routing data in multiple formats (e.g. V2Ray .dat, MaxMind .mmdb, and others) to support proxy, VPN, or routing tools requiring IP-to-country/region resolution. Rather than depending solely on the official GeoLite2 data, geoip augments and merges data sources (especially for certain regions) to improve coverage or tailor by use-case (e.g. proxy-specific rules, private networks, or region-based classification). The repo provides automated, periodic releases (e.g. weekly or on schedule) and also offers a CLI tool so users can regenerate or customize geo data in the format they need — for example, producing a .dat file for V2Ray / Xray-core, or a MaxMind-compatible .mmdb. -
