After extracting the archive, we obtain a directory named drop-in. Inside this folder, there is a .txt file and a hidden .git directory - indicating that this is the working directory of a Git repository, most likely cloned or initialized from GitHub.
Next, we run the command git log. This command displays the commit history of the repository, showing detailed information such as the author, timestamp, and commit messages. And of course we have the flag~
