Most Committed Repository in GitHub

GitHub's Commit Capacity.

Motivation

Checking some relations and capabilities between client-server model, GitHub & Git.

Goal

Making this repo most committed one

How ?

Committing and pushing from GitHub to GitHub.
Getting COMMIT_COUNT and PUSH_THRESHOLD from .env
Running scripts via workflows to achive 1. step ###### With Bash git.sh

#!/bin/bash

source .env
git pull

for i in $( eval echo {1..$COMMIT_COUNT} )
do
  git commit --allow-empty -m 'go + git + github = 💥'

 if [[ $i%$PUSH_THRESHOLD -eq 0 ]]
  then 
    git push 
    echo '🛬 pushed successfully'
  fi
done

With Golang

git.go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"
    "strconv"
    "os/exec"
    "github.com/joho/godotenv"
)

func main() {
    godotenv.Load() 
    commitCount, _ := strconv.Atoi(os.Getenv("COMMIT_COUNT"))
    pushThreshold, _ := strconv.Atoi(os.Getenv("PUSH_THRESHOLD"))

    git    := "git"
    commit := "commit"
    push   := "push"
    allow_empty := "--allow-empty"
    m := "-m"
    message := "'go + git + github = 💥'"

    for i := 0; i < commitCount; i++ {

        cmdCommit := exec.Command(git, commit, allow_empty, m, message)
        stdoutCommit, errCommit := cmdCommit.Output()

        if errCommit != nil {
            fmt.Println("🔥 commit error: ", errCommit.Error())
            return
        }

        fmt.Println("🚀 ",string(stdoutCommit))

        if (i % pushThreshold == 0) {

            cmdPush := exec.Command(git, push)
            _, errPush := cmdPush.Output()

            if errPush != nil {
                fmt.Println("🔥 push error: ", errPush.Error())

            }

            fmt.Println("🛬 pushed successfully")
        }

    }

}

With Node

git.js

const { exec } = require("child_process");
require('dotenv').config();
const commitCount = process.env.COMMIT_COUNT;
const pushThreshold = process.env.PUSH_THRESHOLD;

const gitPull = () => {
  return exec("git pull", (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log("🔥 pull error: ", err);
      return;
    }
    console.log(`🚀 : ${stdout}`);
  });
};

const gitCommit = () => {
  return exec(
    'git commit --allow-empty -m "go + git + github = 💥"',
    (err, stdout, stderr) => {
      if (err) {
//         console.log("🔥 commit error: ", err);
        return;
      }
      console.log(`🚀 : ${stdout}`);
    }
  );
};

const gitPush = () => {
  return exec("git push", (err, stdout, stderr) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log("🔥 push error: ", err);
      return;
    }

    console.log(`🛬 pushed successfully: ${stdout}`);
  });
};

const run = () => {
  gitPull();

  for (let i = 0; i < commitCount; i++) {
    gitCommit();

    if (i % pushThreshold === 0) {
      gitPush();
    }
  }
};

run();

So far experiences

Disclamer: These observation and thoughts are not meant to be correct. They are my individual experiemnt and observations.

In GitHub there are a few repos that have over 1m+ commits. ( I didn't examine througoutly).

Linux : 1.072.960+ ( respect to contributers)

Commited 3.000.000+

This repo : 12,225,265+

Golang felt faster than Bash and Node, it's like a super-jet.

Github actions have some restrictions and limits . Some GitHub error messages are like :

No space left on device.

You are running out of disk space.

Temperature of my computer (2011 model Asus brand 4 core i7 processor) suddenly rised and the fan screamed. In System Monitor, the each of 4 core were over 80%.

With Go every second (~1000ms) ~1000 commits can be pushed. Disclamer: For that measurement I observed commit time in GitHub. So it's not scientific :)

Gitpod blocked my account after running some scripts on their server. As they explained doing so degraded their platform and it looked like a DoS attack. Thanks to them again for unblocking my account. It's a nice and powerful platform.

GitHub is such a powerful platform. Tens of thousands of file (.txt) I have created and written with commits alongside of push and nothing broken.

I have learned also that git has a flag that is --allow-empty and lets you write commit without any change.

..... to be continued.
