Imagine you're a GitHub employee tasked with leaving a nice message for the 1 billionth repo. Seeing that counter tick towards that joyful moment, anticipation builds.

What would it be? The next Linux display manager? Something as impactful as Docker or Kubernetes? The early beginnings of a radical new OS?

Nope, it turns out to be shit. 💩

Even Linus seems to like this repo.

Sadly people love to fake commits from Linus, and it is extremely provably not from him.

I was gonna say that a billion repos is crazy, but I alone have 30 repositories and I don't even consider myself that serious

Take into account that in order to make PRs to a repository you don't have access to, you have to make a fork of the repo. Which means another repo.

I'm glad this project has been forked. I really want to see the direction other developers go with it
