Problem

The link to the article about the git-wtf Ruby program is broken.

Solution

Just update the links to point to the Internet Archive, and/or add another reference to the Git repositories.

Trivia

Today, there is also another program written in PHP, using a similar name.

Just after fixing the broken link reasonably per abc7bc0, I discovered @thrawn01 renamed the program to GIT CLIP.

It is excellent news it's still alive. Also note it's no longer Ruby, but Golang. Thanks a stack, Derrick. 💯

To confuse things even more, clip (previously git-wtf) is based on a project which is based on yet another git-wtf project I found years ago which was adapted from yet another I lost the original link too.

I had no idea anyone had even seen my version of git-wtf so I didn't think it would hurt to rename it to pair with the clip-remote tool.

I'm glad someone else enjoys this tool as much as I do. I use it EVERY DAY, I love this thing!

I USED to love it equally well, thank you so much for doing it. I have to admit, I didn't install it back after switching machines, but I will certainly give the new GIT CLIP a shot, and report back here. I am so glad you are keeping up the spirit, because I deeply feared the older version would never run on a recent Ruby any longer, or such.

After dropping the WTF name, please enjoy that your naming things of that time has been inherited by grafana-wtf. Actually, just a few hours ago, I started to think about adding a CLIPPING feature there. ;]
