48-digit prime numbers every git commit

In plain words

This tool generates a new 48-digit prime number with each git commit, creating a unique numerical identifier for code changes. Designed for developers who want to add mathematical novelty to their version control workflow, it combines cryptographic number generation with standard git integration. The project appeals to those interested in both programming and number theory.

Ensure your 160-bit git commit hashes are Number Theoretic compliant. A tool that fuzzes your commit messages until the resulting SHA-1 hash is a prime number when interpreted as a 160-bit integer. Windows (PowerShell): irm https://textonly.github.io/git-prime/install.ps1 | iex Mathematical Rigor: SHA-1 hashes are 160-bit integers. The Prime Number Theorem dictates that primes are abundant (~1 in 111 hashes), yet standard git commits rely on randomness, ignoring the elegance of indivisibility. Indivisibility: A composite number can be broken down. It is weak. A prime number stands alone. By forcing your commit hash to be prime, you are ensuring that your code changes correspond to an…from textonly.github.io

  Vanity Git commit hash generator2023 · git.anna.lgbt · ▲19

  Hi HN! This is just a fun little tool I made after I got nerdsniped by noticing that one of my commits naturally started with "fae". I thought that was cute, so I looked up existing tools that make vanity commit hashes, but none of them seemed great to me (and none supporting signing commits). I learned a fair deal about how git actually stores commits while making this, and I think I came up with a novel way to generate a vanity hash: adding an extra header to the commit file. This was just a quick project to satisfy my curiosity, but I thought you all might find it neat. Notice that all…

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
