Thanks for sharing, this is really cool! Using whitespace is a really clever trick, and running on the GPU makes it even more impressive. I've been using githashcrash [1], but it's only running on the CPU, which is why it's a bit slower. :-) [1]: https://github.com/Mattias-/githashcrash https://github.com/Mattias-/githashcrash

Update: git-linearize now uses lucky_commit as it's backend!

  I haven't checked your codebase so I don't know how easy it was but damn, you replaced your backend within 16 minutes according to your comment timings. That's some nice modularization. Good job!

    You're giving me too much credit. The script [1] is only 50 lines of bash. [1]: https://github.com/zegl/extremely-linear/blob/0011003da131322e632761a7b8e47b2e77692f94/git-linearize#L64-L111 https://github.com/zegl/extremely-linear/blob/0011003da13132...

Using whitespace is cool, but you know what would be really cool? Using a thesaurus to reword the commit message until it matches the hash :)

  ... or refactor the code using an automated thesaurus and a bit of AI in a way to generate a particular hash. - Hey Bob, why did you rename the 'pick_person' function to 'choose_desirable_candidate'? - git made me do it

    I was going to solve some business problems today but instead there became an urgent need to GPU accelerate the task of making my commit hash appear to have the rich semantics of "a number that goes up". Hm, I bet this old FPGA could be repurposed to add a 2x speedup...

  Only works if your commit message is written in hexadecimal characters
  - oneeyedpigeon 4y ago
    I don't understand — the example in the article adds the string "magic: MTQIpN2AmwQA" to the commit message. The final hash is hexadecimal, but what you feed into it isn't.

    "it" (in "it matches the hash") = "the next sequential number", not "the commit message", afaict. Not very clear, I agree.
