that time and until the **Great Fork Merge**, only a very few changes
|
||||
were made to the [Official IOCCC winner

the repo was forked on **Sun Sep 18 17:30:00 2022 -0700**. The

||||
-0700](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/commit/edbc3089e1b755d85a020af7975bbc7df3737a5f).
|
||||
As this same time, the [temp-test-ioccc web site](https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc/) went live.
|
||||
|
||||
Edits were made by an [IOCCC judge](https://www.ioccc.org/judges.html)
|
||||
to their local [git](https://git-scm.com) repository,
|
||||
were pushed onto the [temp-test-ioccc
|
||||
repo](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/commit/2f20ae8451ada03f4601ac727d10e1d8630861a8)

The [first accepted pull request](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/pull/15)
|

made directly to the [temp-test-ioccc
|
||||
repo](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc) on
|
||||
[Wed Feb 22 05:44:55 2023 -0800](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/commit/11bb36ac8ce790f32a9a3e5d2131ee12820fb8ec)
|
||||
|
||||
A [decision was made by the
|
||||
IOCCC](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/discussions/1918) to
|
||||
mostly use frequent commits to individual components of the IOCCC,
|
||||
rather than to use occasional site wide massive updates in order
|
||||
to improve the tractability of changes made to components of the
|
||||
IOCCC such as IOCCC entries. Although occasionally site wide updated
|
||||
were performed in order to address an issue common to many IOCCC
|
||||
entries. And while some people prefer infrequent updates to a repo
|
||||
the [IOCCC judges](https://www.ioccc.org/judges.html) believe
|
||||
the ability to trace changes with commit messages is important.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes to the IOCCC content included things such as:
|
||||
|
||||
* Moving IOCCC entries into their own separate directories
|
||||
* Establishing a detailed manifest for an IOCCC winning entries
|
||||
* Fixing lots and lots of typos
|
||||
* Fixing Makefiles and code to allow for nearly all winning entries to be compiled and
|
||||
work on modern systems
|
||||
* Fixing Makefiles and code to allow for nearly all winning entries to be compiled modern systems
|
||||
* Fixing Makefiles and code to allow for nearly all winning entries to run modern systems
|
||||
* Reworking the Makefiles to use a consistent set of rules
|
||||
* Reworking the Makefiles specific to the gcc and clang C compilers
|
||||
* Replacing the various hint files with a index.html markdown that is more consistent across IOCCC years
|
||||
* Generating HTML content from markdown files and JSON data files via a set to tools and scripts
|
||||
* Setting up a system whereby authors of IOCCC entries may update their own contact information via a GitHub pull request
|
||||
* Setting up to generate the top level years.html file via a tool
|
||||
* Setting up to generate the top level authors.html file via a tool
|
||||
* Making use of an new and improved IOCCC CSS for web site consistency
|
||||
* etc.
