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.

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)
Here we go:

Do not use the Google 2FA Authenticator to to sync secrets across devices.
The why is explained in the (long) tweet by [Wayback/Archive] Mysk on Twitter: “Google has just updated its 2FA Authenticator app and added a much-needed feature: the ability to sync secrets across devices. TL;DR: Don’t turn it on. The new update allows users to sign in with their Google Account and sync 2FA secrets across their iOS and Android devices.…”
For similar reasons, you might not want to use Authy by Twilio to sync between devices either, though that is less insecure as it enforces you to use a backup-password in order to sync these through the cloud: in the past that backup-password had few security restrictions so it was easy to use a relatively insecure password.
