You have no commits with vanity hashes.. I'm puzzled.

I was looking for how you dogfood your program but didn't find vanity commits in this repo.

I was puzzled.

We laughed.

Glad to have made you laugh :)

Examples can be found in https://github.com/tochev/git_vanity_demo/commits/master as is written in the README.

I made this repo normal for a couple of reasons:

  • To preserve the original hashes of any pull requests - otherwise I would have to rebase the changes of other people and I believe that might not count towards their contribution as reported by github;
  • I had decided I would have a small demo repo anyway so people could play around with it and use it in demos/slides;
  • As funny as it may seem, I couldn't decide on a commit identifier scheme - one option was to have them as a revision number (0001, 0002, etc.), another was just to choose something funny for each commit as in the demo repo (deadbeef), a third was to do it as a date (20190120), and so on...
    So at one point I thought it would be funny and functional to leave it with the default "random" commits :)
