It has been my habit for a while to make the root commit 0000000 because it’s fun, but for some reason it had not occurred to me to generalise this to subsequent commits. Tempting, very tempting. I have a couple of solo-developed-and-publicly-shared projects in mind that I will probably do this for.


How do you make the first commit 0000000? (Without using this project, obviously).


You only need to do it once if it's the first commit and you make it empty...


Might be by using that hashcrash tool.
