Even better grab a random Linus response to Linux kernel commits and add it as a comment. Example: [GitUser], SHUT THE FUCK UP! It's a bug alright - in the [GitRepo]. How long have you been a maintainer? And you still haven't learnt the first rule of [GitRepo] maintenance? If a change results in user programs breaking, it's a bug in the [GitRepo]. We never EVER blame the user programs. How hard can this be to underst…

Good idea. Also comments from theo.c in mg: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/mg/theo.c?... Scroll down a bit to the array...

It's a shame it doesn't store them in /commits/ in the repo itself.

wouldn't that make checking out the repo a total pain in the ass? or do you mean just store them there and not upload them?

So I started working on something like this a year or so ago, mine is not as pretty as lolcommits though: http://gitshots.ranman.org/ (source is here: https://github.com/ranman/gitshots ) -- it uses mongo as the backend which was probably not the best choice in the world but it lets you do some cool stuff with the data.

I've been using this for about a year or so on my spare time trying-to-start-a-startup project. It's pretty fun to scroll through ~500 images of myself. I was thinking I may upload the whole series online eventually for people to laugh at my bad hair days

This looks very fun :) Kinda disappointed it's ruby but that's just my bias.

Why does that even matter? It's not as if you have to interact with it beyond issuing a "lolcommits --enable" command.

You don't know me do you? Every script/piece of code gets dissected eventually. It's just a matter of how enjoyable/easy to read the code is.

I've wanted a tool like this for conflicts - I want to see what people look like when they do a pull and get a conflict.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that they don't in fact know you.
