    I am not sure why this repository last updated in November 2011 is suddenly on the front page?

    Anyway, a better known implementation (in Bash) is probably https://github.com/holman/spark, which was developed by Zach Holman, one of the first GitHub hires.

      Similar first commit dates in the two repositories, it looks like there must have been some kind of trend around that time ;)

      Anyway, this field has more famous people than anyone can keep track of; I hadn't heard of Zach Holman until just now either. For what it's worth, zx2c4 is also fairly well known for WireGuard.

    is this some meta commentary on cgit's performance? (site doesn't load)
