Github - find your github user id
- mooism2 16y agoWhat's the point?
- tbeseda 16y agoDetermining who was there first, maybe?
- eclark 16y agoThat was my though. Kind of like on Slashdot how people used to like their 4 digit user id's
- petercooper 16y agomojombo is #1 :-) Then defunkt, then pjhyett.
- PHPAdam 16y agoNot too sure, not even the tweet button gives a reason: "Found out I'm GitHub user 346166 by using http://caius.github.com/github_id/#PHPAdam http://caius.github.com/github_id/#PHPAdam

- stephth 16y agoNo idea. But crossing this with the "Member Since" date is stunning. I did a quick lookup for three accounts off the top of my head: 03/2008: ~2700 04/2008: ~8800 02/2011: ~627600
- bjg 16y agoMy join date states February 2008, and apparently i'm user #1212 http://caius.github.com/github_id/#bgianfo http://caius.github.com/github_id/#bgianfo
- caiusdurling 16y ago(I'm the author of it) If you mean the point of writing it, I saw a couple of people tweeting about how to find it out by searching the source of https://github.com/account https://github.com/account whilst logged in and wondered if I could automate it. A chance to flex my HTML/JS muscles for fun if you will. Tweeted it as a laugh and went to bed. It's had quite a nice trip through the internets since. As someone mentions elsewhere in the comments, it's interesting to compare when people signed up and their id to see how the GitHub user base has grown. So yeah, no real point except idle curiosity and a small challenge for myself to implement it.
- oomkiller 16y agoThey mentioned something in a hiring post about someone having a low user id, then someone created this using that post as inspiration.
