Very funny, may just check this out for some inspiration every once in a while. :)

  Almost as funny as https://twitter.com/gitlost https://twitter.com/gitlost [NSFW: language] which uses GitHub's timeline feed to find git commit messages with profanity in them. I wrote it in the same spirit as Commit Logs From Last Night although CLFLN seems to use a data source with quite a bit of delay.

use http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt to pull just the text for a commit message.

For your ~/.profile (or whatever): curl --connect-timeout 1 http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt

  Why a connect timeout? And why such a short one?
  - vsbuffalo 13y ago
    So that your ~/.profile loading doesn't hang when your network does. Nothing more frustrating then wanting to get something done quickly in the shell and having it stall.

I love it! May I ask how these are generated?
- dan15 13y ago
  I wouldn't really call it a "generator"; it uses a static list: https://github.com/ngerakines/commitment/blob/master/commit_messages.txt https://github.com/ngerakines/commitment/blob/master/commit_...
frakturfreund 13y ago
For your ~/.gitconfig: wtc = !git commit -m \"$(curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt)\"
- alimoeeny 13y ago
  what should happen? does it need to go in a specific "section" of the .gitconfig?
  - frakturfreund 13y ago
    Yes, i forgot, it has to go into the [alias] section of .gitconfig. It create a commit with a random message from whatthecommit.com; nothing you would push to your public repository; i use it in a script to backup some stuff in a git repo.

Does anyone else ever use "WIP" for work in progress? :)
- eclipticplane 13y ago
  WIP progress.
- evincarofautumn 13y ago
  Yes, before I rebase.

I set this in my .profile file a while ago: alias gca='git add -A; git commit -a -m "`curl -s http://whatthecommit.com/index.txt`"'

  Dear lord this is a bad idea

This is funny. But the reason that this is funny is because people actually say these things in commit messages. I mean, "updates" is a commonly used commit message for a colleague I work with. It makes me want to cry.
- shurcooL 13y ago
  They sound nothing like the commit messages I've ever seen. I suppose I haven't seen much.
