Well I'm glad to see that also other people have this sorts of messages in their commit history

Interesting to me too. While I'm not above putting the occasional gripe into a commit message, I don't think I've ever used profanity. I prefer commit log messages to be useful later, to myself if not others. So I try to avoid useless messages like "Fixing stuff" (with or without expletives).

So it just watches github's live feed for commit messages that contain a curse word.

I wished he removed some of those words though and I really want to believe that people don't use racist commit messages.

I use a little obscene language myself, but there's nothing cool or enlightening about it. Any site built around it is at best noisy, but more like puking all over the screen.

So fuck and shit are the most common words used as I can see. Not what I expected.

zackzackzack• 14 years ago

I imagine this is just going through a stream of commits and only picking out the ones containing fuck and shit.

and hell

Some of the stuff in there is pretty spectacular, like this qt-brainfuck: https://github.com/sea-kg/seakgChrysocyonParser/compare/0988...

I think there's a reason most humor websites have some sort of curation process.

vhf• 14 years ago

Yep. The idea is potentially fun, though. They could surely make use of a curation process. Something like bash.org, maybe ?

bdcravens2• 14 years ago

Obviously this is on open source stuff, but I'd don't think it'd reflect positively with a prospective client or employer.

aberkowitz• 14 years ago

I'm baffled by this admiration of commit messages that do nothing to explain the code committed.

jrabone• 14 years ago

Hmm, another triumph for the "Github will get you hired" crowd. And so soon after the "Github will get you kicked off Coursera" debacle.

Actually this is a good use case for DVCS - at least you have a second chance to clean up your commit messages when pushing from a private repo. It does have to be private though. I would be interested to see if BitBucket gets a boost in users this month...

Before bashing, please notice the subheading: "because real hackers pivot two hours before their demo". This was Abe's pivot right before the deadline at the PennApps Hackathon.

Not many swearing ladies.
