not-an-aardvark / every-git-commit-shorthash
If you have a commit shorthash, or any seven-character hex string, you can find a commit for it here! It's like a dictionary, but much less useful. Also see lucky-commit if you'd like to generate commits with arbitrary shorthashes on the fly instead.
The repository has so many commits that git push hangs and runs out of memory, presumably because it tries to regenerate a packfile on the fly. As a result, there isn't a GitHub-hosted interactive demo. Sorry.
This problem might be tractable in theory. git uses the same packfile format for network transport as it does for storage, so it might be possible to convince it to use the packfile from the filesystem directly rather than generating a new one. However, I have some doubts that GitHub would accept the push without timing out or hitting a memory limit somewhere.
If you want to get the commits without running the tool yourself, you can download a pregenerated packfile and index by following the instructions on the releases page.
