## Use it from a coding agent

GitHits gives coding agents version-aware access to shared_preferences: they can search, grep and read its source and documentation, and check its dependencies and security advisories, through MCP or the CLI instead of guessing from training data.

Connect an agent with one command, which detects installed agents, configures them and signs in:

```sh
npx githits@latest init
```
