My all-time favorite commits (not pull requests) are the first few at http://github.com/diiq/Tainted-Oyster/commits/master. Navigate through to page 1, and read in chronological order.

Eventually the compiler design problem got so hard it took up all the author's neurons :/

This is beautiful. Thank you.

It’s actually kind of sad how the story just…ends.

To clarify, akkartik means the earliest few commits. Not the first few on the page he linked (which is page 1 according to the URL), but the page last in GitHub's page order, with the first commits. It's currently https://github.com/diiq/Tainted-Oyster/commits/master?page=4.

You ought to add this one: https://github.com/charliesome/Fructose/pull/9

Make sure to look at https://github.com/charliesome/Fructose/pull/9/files for full effect.

And the humor here is that some guy bullies another guy?

It's a bit mean, but a Ruby-to-PHP compiler implemented in C#? I feel like 3 is a crowd here.

I prefer this one https://github.com/saberma/shopqi/pull/409

this pull request is less 'epic' and more 'cheap shot'

"DEAR FRIEND IN GOD, ... I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO DISPURSE A LARGE FUND OF 2 FILES WITH 11 INSERTIONS, 3 DELETIONS."

Epic pull requests indeed.

As a parent that has read "Cat in the Hat" countless times to two children, that first entry on the page is a poetic monstrosity. Cute, but terrible.

The data did not send, It was too bad to store. So I sat in my chair All confused and in awe

I sat there with sartak. We sat there, we two. And I said, "How I wished For serialization to do!"

Too flat to send out And too hacky to patch. So we sat in our chairs, and we stared just like that.

To boring to fix, And to complex read So we sat we started With our eyes glazed like peas

So all we could do was to Sit! Sit! Sit! Sit! And we did not like that. Not one little bit.

And then something went <BLINK>! How that <BLINK> made us THINK!

We looked! Then we saw, it was big white and black! We looked! And we saw it! The BSD stack! And It said to us, "Why do you sit there like that?"

"I know some good patches", The License it said. "I know some new code" To inject in your stack "A lot of good code I will show it to you. Your upstream Will not mind at all if I do."

Then Sartak and I Did not know what to say. Our upstream was out of the house For the day.

But our Boss said, "Yes! Yes!" Make that License work out! Use that BSD License You DO WANT to patch.

FOSS should be here. It should be about. It should be here, we can help the Upstream it out!

Feel free to submit Pull Requests here: http://epicpullrequests.tumblr.com/submit and I can add them (the epic ones of course).

Very cool.

I hope this doesn't catch on and raise the bar for ordinary patch submissions.

As a bonus: Dustin Hoffman himself designed the site!

Hey that's me, and my theme!
