I thought it was "Let's Get This Merged" and commented it on my own PR once.

  It's an ambiguous acronym. I've used it both ways.

    All the front page Google results appear to say Looks Good To Me https://www.dictionary.com/e/acronyms/lgtm/ https://www.dictionary.com/e/acronyms/lgtm/ https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=LGTM https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=LGTM https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-do-cryptic-github-comments-mean-9c1912bcc0a4/ https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-do-cryptic-github-com... https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lgtm https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/lgtm https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/LGTM.html https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/LGTM.html Urban Dictionary does have Let's Get This Merged as its second definition, but it's at a net of -121 points, whereas Looks Good To Me is at net 941, and was added 10 years earlier. That doesn't seem ambiguous to me.

  Well, I assume you wouldn't submit a PR if it didn't look good to you, so the acronym is appropriate...

  I thought it meant "Let's Get This Merge" like it was a play on "let's get this bread". I know it stands for "Looks Good To Me" now but I still prefer my reading :)
