Show HN: 48-digit prime numbers every git commit

git-prime Ensure your 160-bit git commit hashes are Number Theoretic compliant [PRIME CERTIFIED] What is this? A tool that fuzzes your commit messages until the resulting SHA-1 hash is a prime number when interpreted as a 160-bit integer. Because your commits deserve mathematical rigor. Installation curl -fsSL https://textonly.github.io/git-prime/install.sh | bash Windows (PowerShell): irm https://textonly.github.io/git-prime/install.ps1 | iex Usage $ git prime-commit "Fix critical bug" Searching for prime commit hash... Base message: Fix critical bug Attempt 10: d051b974ece9d844... not prime Attempt 20: 954de912a9e5bbce... not prime Attempt 30: ace4df509c5a9677... not prime ... Attempt 168: cb80ebbd975f0028... not prime [PRIME] Found after 168 attempts!   Commit: cb80ebbd975f00288dca70d8fa735c688755f947   Hash as int: 1161800157764419353674868058637793188631547345223   → Verify on WolframAlpha   Message: "Fix critical bug" + git-prime Nonce: 167 How it works SHA-1 hashes are 160 bits (40 hex characters) When interpreted as integers, they range from 0 to ~1048 Miller-Rabin primality test checks if the hash is prime Appends nonces (git-prime Nonce: N) to your message until a prime hash is found Average runtime: 30-120 seconds Features Mathematically sound: 40-round Miller-Rabin test Git integration: Works as a git subcommand Cross-platform: Python 3.6+, any OS Zero dependencies: Pure Python stdlib Why? Because hunting for prime commit hashes is more fun than arguing about commit message conventions. But also: shouldn't the global distributed compute grid be used to forward number theoretic random non-goals like primality? Every developer running git prime-commit contributes cycles to the noble pursuit of finding 160-bit primes hidden in SHA-1 space. It's distributed computing for mathematically pointless but aesthetically satisfying goals.
