The simplest way to get commit count of a GitHub repository through the API
curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1" | sed -n '/^[Ll]ink:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p'
### And that's all !
# I saw many fighting with finding first commit SHA or similar fancy thing.
# Here we just rely on the GH API, asking commits at 1 per page and parsing the last page number in the header of the reply (whose body only holds the last commit !)
# So this is robust and bandwidth efficient. :)
# If one want the commit count of a specific SHA, just use :
curl -I -k "https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?per_page=1&sha=:sha" | sed -n '/^[Ll]ink:/ s/.*"next".*page=\([0-9]*\).*"last".*/\1/p'

Things to commit just before leaving your job
// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.

Big list of http static server one-liners

Each of these commands will run an ad hoc http static server in your current (or specified) directory, available at http://localhost:8000. Use this power wisely.
