I don't mean to diminish the value of the README, but 63 THOUSAND forks?

Was there some sort of spam influx as we can see these days?

Forking this repo is part of a 'learn to git' assignment for a class on Coursera.

Come on, folks, stop these useless comments about number of forks. Everyone can perfectly see the number of forks in the top right corner. So what's the point of posting it as a comment?!

232K WTF???

Right?

PS: since everyone keeps commenting with the current number, and that's not very interesting, as the creator of this issue, I hereby declare two new rules:

  1. You can only comment with the current number if it's in a new "font"/formatting/representation. For example:

𝟚𝟛𝟙𝟝𝟠𝟠

  1. You must include the exact number of forks, not just "232k". (Hint: use DevTools to obtain this)

If you break any of these rules, everyone is encouraged to downvote your comment!

  1. You can only comment with the current number if it's in a [new "font"/formatting/representation]

Fonts and formats are finite; forks are forever.

Nice try though. New representations are fun, however.

The count is now:

(111000111001110010)₂ = (1 × 2¹⁷) + (1 × 2¹⁶) + (1 × 2¹⁵) + (0 × 2¹⁴) + (0 × 2¹³) + (0 × 2¹²) + (1 × 2¹¹) + (1 × 2¹⁰) + (1 × 2⁹) + (0 × 2⁸) + (0 × 2⁷) + (1 × 2⁶) + (1 × 2⁵) + (1 × 2⁴) + (0 × 2³) + (0 × 2²) + (1 × 2¹) + (0 × 2⁰) = (233074)₁₀
