LOL, this kind of things will happen when projects like Bun (https://github.com/oven-sh/bun) are running on auto. :)

Why is Github talking about number of commits here, and not pushes? Are there a lot of tools/people using github as an online editing platform?

Not that impressive when you realize it's mostly due to AI slop
