See the spread-the-word script in https://github.com/attogram/bash-screensavers/tree/main/spot... This script generates a series of shell commands to create a "spotlight" message on the main GitHub repository page. It does this by generating commands that make trivial changes to the top 12 files and directories and then commit those changes with custom messages.

    • seba_dos1 6 days ago

      Instead of adding or removing a space in random files when making cute and useless commit logs.

        that's what I meant - "amend" would not create any extra commits/entries

        • seba_dos1 6 days ago

          ...which is not a helpful advice when what they clearly wanted is to create a bunch of extra commits.
