The github cli has a command to query commits with a sorting asc/desc flag

https://cli.github.com/manual/gh_search_commits

here's the docs with more syntax using the "before x date"

https://docs.github.com/en/search-github/searching-on-github...

there's also an advanced search page, but it does not support commits when filtering with dates

https://github.com/search/advanced

or you can bisect the date in the search widget, this is the first day with a commit

https://github.com/malisper/pgrust/commits/main/?since=2026-...

first commit:

Thanks for all the info you've provided!

Maybe I'm just being a little grumpy. If I really need to look into a repository, I clone it and use vanilla git command line tools to have a look.

It's just annoying that the modern web UI from GitHub takes >1s second to load a page with 34 commits
