The UGFWIINI contest

+ +

+

+ Just in case somebody finds this blog, here is a challenge. Inspired by my + own little hack (this blog), I announce the "Using Git For What It Is Not + Intended" contest. +

+ And it is especially cool, since the acronym sounds cool! You might miss + this fact if you do no know that I pronounce the "F" like an "A" so that + it sounds cool. +

+ This will be a running contest; whenever I have 10 valid applications, I + will announce a winner on the Git mailing list. +

+ So, what accounts for a valid application? +

+

    +
  • You must use a Git program (the term is used loosely here, GitWeb is + considered a Git program, for example). +
  • The program must be intended for something completely different than + what you are using it for. E.g. GitWeb -- which was intended to let + you browse through the history using your web browser -- is used + to serve a blog to the wide world. +
  • You must be able to prove that you actually used the Git program to + the purpose you claim, preferably in a live demonstration like this + one. +
  • Nobody and nothing must be harmed in the process (except your + laughing muscle, that's okay). +
+

+ So, how does such an abuse look like? +

+

    +
  • ... like this blog. +
  • Managing your mail (in maildir format) in a Git repository. +
  • Finding duplicate files by + + + +
    +   +
    + + +
    + 
    +$ git init
+$ git add .
+$ git ls-files --stage | sort -k2 | uniq -d -s7 -w40
+
    +
    +
    +
  • Abusing the Git alias mechanism to call scripts defined directly in + the config. +
+

+ I am really looking forward to all of your submissions... *chuckles* +
