I got owned by this repo

1 min read Original article ↗

I needed to autogenerate some commits for a joke project and I ended up running this command about 30,000 times:

request = urllib.request.urlopen('https://whatthecommit.com/index.txt').read().decode('utf-8')
message = request.rstrip().replace("\"", "'")
os.system(f"git commit --allow-empty -m \"{count}\"")

My computer shut down in the middle of this.

Turns out I ran git commit --allow-empty -m "$(init 0)"

Lesson learned!

5/5 stars, repo works very well
