From Read Luigi Mangione’s Resume - Ken Klippenstein I found https://github.com/lnmangione. At the moment he has 2.5k followers on this account. Which is quite a lot for github, and I am guessing 100% accrued in the past few days. AFAIK there is no way to get the history of the metric.

There is history available on repo “stars”. GitHub Star History for the repo lnmangione/Halite-III, which seems to be the most popular:

And they are opening issue reports:

text version of the above (clicky clicky)

Some people are making what seem like legitimate (not jokes/political) PRs in old repos. Very strange.

Update: When logged in to github I notice you cannot actually create an issue or comment on a previously created issue anymore:

Not sure when this was implemented, or by whom.

    I’d be so embarrassed if thousands of people were going through my github repos. That place is a graveyard testament to my inability to finish things.

      the main reason I can’t kill any CEOs is because I can’t handle the thought of people poring over my digital spoor

      mine is a testament to my abililty to start something just barely and then again a year later, and again a year later, each time making it just as far as the last time

      This account just has a few cursory demo projects in it; very little activity. I assume if you work in development you make an account like this just as a placeholder. I think more interesting is the traffic of others subsequent to his arrest.

      I don’t understand this… I am not a gamer (?)

      I opened a few of the code files but they look like straight forward python code which is also something i don’t know about.

        Oh, no worries! Yeah, there’s nothing special about the code, but the mentor character in Luigi’s Mansion is called Professor Elvin Gadd (better known as E. Gadd–it’s just a silly pun on “egad”).

            I realize I made one crucial assumption, which is that you knew he picked up the nickname “Luigi’s Mansion” almost immediately after his name became public because his name sounds similar. I guess it’s a sort of obvious joke for someone who knows of the game, and the name of that repo being a character from Luigi’s Mansion suggests that he’s not only aware of the joke but also doesn’t mind leaning into it (not a given, since I could imagine it getting old pretty quick if half the people you meet make the same joke after you introduce yourself).

    What about his GitHub Gists? Was there something, such as code snippets or tutorials? Edit for complementing my question: I’m asking this because his Gists is now empty (“lnmangione doesn’t have any public gists yet”), and I wonder if his Gists were deleted or if he really didn’t use/didn’t know the Gists feature of GitHub.
