    Open source documentation of Microsoft Azure

  • Microsoft’s azure docs repo has 1.1M commits, and it’s many gigabytes big. I made the mistake of trying to clone it to fix an issue in the docs I ran into. Ended up just editing it on GitHub because fuck that.

  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

  • Sidestepping all of the ethical questions of embarking on this "research", I'm surprised the number was that low.

    Linux[0] itself has about 1.2 million commits, so apparently Linux is within an order of magnitude of bringing GitHub to it's knees?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
