So the count includes forks?

Would be interesting to know the billionth non-fork source repo.

>Repo 999999999: pushing forward the cutting edge of protein folding research

>Repo 1000000000: shit

The duality of programming

That repo is substantially more fascinating, and could have used the attention. What a shame. Who was the next repo, 1,000,000,001?

It doesn't exist. Turns out GitHub has a lot of private and deleted repos.

(Then there's 1000000002, https://github.com/minseon-01/flaskapp, similar to 999999999 in that it's a fork)
