I also do this. Lots of weird commit messages because fuck that, I'm busy. Commits that are just there to put some stuff aside, things like that. I don't owe it to anyone to show how messy my kitchen is.

Does your makefile also do this https://github.com/xtellect/spaces/blob/422dbba85b5a7e9a209a...

This repo is full of so many strange and hilarious things. Look, I'm a lisper, and this is even too many parentheses for me https://github.com/xtellect/spaces/blob/master/spaces.c#L471...

On the other hand, others don’t have to adopt, use or like your stuff which would be the reasons to publish it.

One big commit definitely doesn’t help with creating confidence in this project.

There was once a time when sharing code had a social obligation.

This attitude you have isn't in the same spirit. GitHub (or any forge) was never meant to be a garbage dumping ground for whatever idea you cooked up at 3AM.
