I was slightly confused when I opened this link. I was pretty sure I didn't click the "Here's the Most Idiotic and Brilliant App Ever " link which also was on the front page at the time.
But that's cheating...<p>Do you want to work for a company that buys this lie and make them believe you are a code machine?<p>That lie WILL bite you in the back some day.
<p><pre><code> > # make a change to file.rb
</code></pre>
You don't need to change the file to create a commit. Just run this with appropriate range of committer dates:<p><pre><code> > GIT_COMMITTER_DATE=? git commit --allow-empty;</code></pre>
I like it, not because I like cheating but because I think it exemplifies how bullshit this notion that more commits == more commited is, and how it encourages people pulling shit all the time. Even Linus is mad about it xD
Is there a way to tell the most frequent committer on Github? Maybe if there is Github could award a prize every month—a gift certificate to a pizza place maybe?<p>(in secret of course)
