The manual process of getting back to the earliest commit of a GitHub repository is easy for small repositories, but for a large one it is very tedious.
TL;DR: there are various ways, but the easiest was the INIT Bookmarklet below.
Note: 2 weeks before the scheduled post made it to the front of the queue, I got a report¹ that it started to fail. Here it still works.
It’s hard to debug because of the functional programming approach taken.

A few years back, a few interesting files turned up that are directly served from the testla.com web-site right in the middle when Musk used their software engineers to asses twitter.com code quality:
Some do not exist (of which some any more):

I wonder how long this can be hosted on GitHub. Will start using it, just to learn more about the GitHub computing infrastructure.

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:
I learned a few more things from [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? (Page 2)

Last week I wrote on File scoped namespaces – C# 10.0 draft specifications | Microsoft Learn, promising to write more on p-Code and UCSD Pascal. That’s now (:
I started with [Wayback/Archive] “java byte code” “ucsd” “p-code” – Google Search as I was looking for really old material on this (Java 1.0 versions became available in the 1994-1995 time frame, and a lot of material back then either did not make it to the World Wide Web (which slowly gained popularity around that time, see History of the World Wide Web) or has vanished due to link rot.
The cool thing is that many “new” people are not even aware of p-Code, as the 2019 thread [Wayback/Archive] What do you think about something like Pascal bytecode? shows.
I learned a thing or two from it as well, for instance that there has been a “recent” book on UCSD Pascal:

A while ago I found out that gist.github.com/lynatan/673e574faa8343fa01d7a91e75065c54 which I mentioned before in Delphi analog to C# ?? null-coalescing operator and Light Table like debugger evaluation and I wanted to
The reason was that I was working on the [WaybackSave/Archive] bit Time Professionals on X: “Live now: “Hidden Gems of Delphi Language: Operator Overloading and Class/Record helpers” @jpluimers” session which I presented at [Wayback/Archive] ITDevCon 2024 | Home where I also could enjoy the company of the other [Wayback/Archive] ITDevCon 2024 | Speakers and the famous [Wayback/Archive] IT DevCon 2024 speaker dinner (which attendees can also join for a slight surcharge).
The presentation is at [Wayback/Archive] ITDevCon2024/delphi_language_hidden_gems/delphi_language_hidden_gems.md at main · jpluimers/ITDevCon2024 · GitHub and pictures of the event at [Wayback/Archive] ITDevCon2024 – Google Photos.

Empirically, these are show the same behaviour where “command 2″and “command 3″are documented, but still present a lot as the only solution in blog posts and help sites:
command 1: list |
command 2: --list |
command 3: -l |
what config is shown |
|---|---|---|---|
git config list --local |
git config --list --local |
git config -l --local |
--local config for current repository |
git config list --global |
git config --list --global |
git config -l --global |
--global config for the current user |
git config list --system |
git config --list --system |
git config -l --system |
--system config for all users |
git config list |
git config --list |
git config -l |
all 3 levels of config combined, for convenience without telling which configuration setting is on which level |

Learned a while ago: if you have the username from a GitHub or GitLab user, you can download interesting that sometimes can make life easier (but not necessarily more secure):
github.com/username.keys gives you their public SSH keysgitlab.com/username.keys gives you their public SSH keysgithub.com/username.png gives you their profile imageAnd that there are tools like gh, glab and age that can make direct use of them.
I love Twitter, so thanks for these for teaching me these little tricks:

A few years back I had an error happen a while on one of my Windows machines after a git pull: fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at 'C:/versioned/repository' followed by a few lines with Windows SIDs (Security Identifiers) that I had to map to actual users.
I thought I had it scheduled, but my notes were in a draft post, so when I bumped into it again when upgrading an old virtual machine with new versions I finished it and scheduled it for now.
The first time I got the error was after git for Windows fixed security vulnerability [Wayback/Archive] CVE-2022-24765 and included the quote from [Wayback/Archive] Uncontrolled search for the Git directory in Git for Windows · Advisory · git-for-windows/git:

Since git doesn’t have the notion of directories as entities, neither does GitHub.
This makes it counter-intuitive to add a sub-directory when creating a new file on-line in the GitHub web-UI or uploading file(s) there.
I wanted to do this as instead of taking the local route, it was easier to on-line add and edit [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – jpluimers/https-imgur.com-a-bmw-e61-remote-fix-sWdk0: Content from https://imgur.com/a/bmw-e61-remote-fix-sWdk0 for Wayback Machine archival.
The GitHub web-UI can indeed do this:
TL;DR Use
/in the file name field to create folder(s), e.g. typingfolder1/file1in the file name field will create a folderfolder1and a filefile1.
you should just try to drag and drop your entire folder in the webui and it will upload whole folder.
You can also do this from the git command-line, by adding an empty file in the directory first. By convention, usually a .gitkeep file is used for that though others use .gitignore files for it.
