+ [2020-03-06T19:43:21Z] Soliton there is also no reason every tag is a release or whatever logic github uses there.
+ [2020-03-06T20:35:05Z] jlk there is no standard way. Developers can use a wide array of methods to version their software.
+ [2020-03-06T21:08:10Z] R2robot I prefer semantic versioning https://semver.org/
+ [2020-03-06T21:08:22Z] R2robot but some people use whackadoodle versioning

th_, for large projects, the size of all of the history is often smaller than the set of checked-out files from a single commit
+ [2020-03-07T04:31:35Z] very_sneaky hi all, is there a way to have a file named something other than README.md display automatically when navigating to a repo?
+ [2020-03-07T04:32:07Z] very_sneaky like, the_name_of_a_blog_article.md, for example
+ [2020-03-07T11:37:44Z] nedbat very_sneaky: tell us more about why you would want that file displayed instead
+ [2020-03-07T11:56:29Z] very_sneaky nedbat: i'm trying to implement a CI/CD pipeline for my blog posts, and so atm I have a repository for each post. I'd prefer to be able to name the content something with more semantic meaning than README.md
+ [2020-03-07T11:57:17Z] nedbat very_sneaky: a repo per post sounds like overkill.
