Is there a github repo of that original code?

The post-hoc analysis of that could burn down the internet for weeks.

I don't know of a github repository, but the source code can be found on the Virtual AGC page. Colossus is the command module program, while Luminary is the Lunar module program.

Nice. Fun to take a glimpse into the code. Random line:

    	TC	IBNKCALL	# FOR SATURN INTERFACE AND FDAI DISPLAY

This is really cool. Here is PLANETARY_INERTIAL_ORIENTATION.agc which contains Apollo command module code for converting between vectors in earth or moon based coordinate systems and a basic reference system: http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/listings/Comanche055/PLANETARY...

It really looks surprisingly similar to modern assembly code. Well commented too.
