Tell HN: Click on 'I'm Feeling Lucky' on Google for the first result directly

I have been using google for past 10 years and always thought 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button is for doodles only. Today accidently, while searching for 'git' clicked the button, it took me to the https://git-scm.com/.

Maybe, I'm one of the today's lucky 10,000 https://xkcd.com/1053/

Sorry, if this is obvious or out-of-place, just wanted to share this with someone.

Side-note: someone developed a userscript workaround for the redirect notice when using the function: https://greasyfork.org/scripts/564083-google-url-linkfilter-.... Don't know if this gets-around when Google forces the search to go to Gemini or AI Mode.
