Imagine you're a GitHub employee tasked with leaving a nice message for the 1 billionth repo. Seeing that counter tick towards that joyful moment, anticipation builds.

What would it be? The next Linux display manager? Something as impactful as Docker or Kubernetes? The early beginnings of a radical new OS?

Nope, it turns out to be shit. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

Got renamed :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Still shit on my machine.

Now I see shit again too. The unfortunate author may be torn on what to do.

Edit: https://github.com/AasishPokhrel/shit/issues/21
This issue mentions the name was changed.

I'm glad this project has been forked. I really want to see the direction other developers go with it

[โ€“] [email protected] 62 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Forking shit, man.

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Holy forking shirtballs

For those who don't know, that is a reference to "the good place". Go watch it now.

And go in blind

Watch the first one of two episodes. Like the humor? Continue watching

It's one of the funniest and philosophical shows in existence

[don't] tap for spoilerLike figuring out factorio for the first time, it is something I wish I could live again.

I was gonna say that a billion repos is crazy, but I alone have 30 repositories and I don't even consider myself that serious

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Take into account that in order to make PRs to a repository you don't have access to, you have to make a fork of the repo. Which means another repo.

Even Linus seems to like this repo.

[โ€“] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago

Sadly people love to fake commits from Linus, and it is extremely provably not from him.
