The existence of a tool like first-commit makes me feel especially self conscious about my earliest commits on GitHub repos. It adds to the perception that one's initial checkin is somehow especially important (as opposed to the bug infested, barely-compiling disasterpieces I usually checkin.)<p>Now, it's like: "Uh, oh, this initial checkin better be perfect. Someone will scrutinize it with first-commit."<p>OTOH, no one has ever expressed any interest whatsoever in any of my GitHub repos. I doubt even first-commit can change that.
Wow, Go has a really long history! <a href="http://first-commit.com/golang/go" rel="nofollow">http://first-commit.com/golang/go</a>
Wow, this is awesome!!! I just made a bookmarklet (chrome extension coming soon) for this very reason just a few days ago. Maybe we should collaborate...?<p>Repo: <a href="https://github.com/FarhadG/init" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/FarhadG/init</a>

Am I missing something?<p>Why is this tool interesting? Or, why is this tool useful?<p>Wasn't this already pretty easy to find if one was so inclined?
Obligatory reference to the first bootstrap revision from hell - first git commit of git! [1]<p>[1] - <a href="https://github.com/git/git/commit/e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/git/git/commit/e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23...</a>
Pretty cool. I also found this while ago: <a href="http://firstpr.me/" rel="nofollow">http://firstpr.me/</a> – shows your first pull request and contribution to the open source community.
Seems to be rejecting this perfectly valid repo url:<p><a href="https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable</a><p>It appears to be the hyphen in the org name.
