🎉Celebrating 100k lines of Rust code 🎉

Of course, less is more and the line count doesn't really mean anything 😁. The real reason this milestone exists is to show off a little work created with the help of codevis. What makes it interesting is that the images laid on top of the git codebase are actually to scale! So yes, we can say that all notable (did I forget one?) implementations of git far less in size than git itself even if put together.

It also gives an idea of 'how much code is needed' to be suitable for most use-cases, and gitoxide doesn't seem too far away from libgit2 while hopefully remaining far smaller than jgit forever (I'd hope to do the same with way less).

Lastly, for those who feel adventurous, why not download the full-size image to see each character of code as one pixel 😅.

How?

All codebases have been visualized with the following base settings: codevis -i . --line-height-pixels 1 --column-width-pixels 120. From there, some use a different theme for 'dramatic effect'.

gitoxide wants to look particularly fancy for the occasion and uses this commandline instead: codevis -i . --line-height-pixels 1 --column-width-pixels 120 --ignore-extension md --theme base16-eighties.dark --open --bg-pixel-color helix-editor --ignore-files-without-syntax. (Yes, I added the helix-editor background color style because I like it so much!).

From there it's all just basic image editing of a rather slow and bloated 17160x9608 pixels image using Krita.
