Git is Hard but Time Traveling in Git Isn't
summary
A discovery that GitHub honors local commit timestamps leads to commit into the future reproducing date-specific bugs, not a platform bug. Language detection actually uses the open source Linguist and can be changed by adding a .gitattributes line to ignore static/ so the repo shows the right breakdown. Local hooks demonstrate automation: a pre-commit hook that blocks commits to master is implemented in bash and can prompt to continue, and JavaScript projects can use husky to run linters before commit though hooks remain bypassable by force push.
