I got owned by this repo

[GoldenStack]

I needed to autogenerate some commits for a joke project and I ended up running this command about 30,000 times:

request = urllib.request.urlopen('https://whatthecommit.com/index.txt').read().decode('utf-8')
message = request.rstrip().replace("\"", "'")
os.system(f"git commit --allow-empty -m \"{count}\"")

My computer shut down in the middle of this.

Turns out I ran git commit --allow-empty -m "$(init 0)"

Lesson learned!

5/5 stars, repo works very well

At least you did not get $(rm -rvf .)

[CuriousCodingCanadian]

lol, there should be a check for these types of commands

@CuriousCodingCanadian that defeats the point :) it should teach you a lesson to escape shell commands

[CuriousCodingCanadian]

Is that the purpose of this repo? I thought this was just for random commit messages

[notcancername]

maybe not, but the purpose of putting that there :D

[CuriousCodingCanadian]

ah

@CuriousCodingCanadian that defeats the point :) it should teach you a lesson to escape shell commands

deleting the user's cwd is a pretty shitty way of teaching a lesson imo

[notcancername]

fair enough
