🐺 ቀበሮ ለዶሮ «የአባትህ ድምፅ በጣም ደስ ይለኝ ነበር» አለው።

🐓 ዶሮም «የኔም ድምፅ እኮ እንደ አባቴ ነው» በማለት መለሰ።
🐺 ቀበሮውም «እንደዛ ከሆነማ እባክህ ልታሰማኝ ትችላለህ ??» በማለት ተማጸነው።
🐓 ዶሮው «ምን ችግር አለው !» በማለት ጩኸቱን ለማሰማት ዓይኑን ሲጨፍን ቀበሮው ይዞት አፈተለከ።

ውሾች ሁሉ ዶሮውን ከቀበሮው አፍ ለማስጣል እየጮኹ እግር በእግር ተከታተሉት።

🐓 ዶሮው ለቀበሮው «ከውሾቹ ለመዳን ከፈለግክ ዶሮው የእናንተ ሰፈር አይደለም !!» በላቸው አለው። ቀበሮውም የተባለውን ለመናገር ሲሞክር ዶሮው ከአፉ አመለጠው።
🐺 ቀበሮውም በፀፀት ተውጦ «ዝም ማለት ሲገባው የተናገረ አፉ ይረገም ፤ ይኮነን» አለ።
🐓 ዶሮም በበኩሉ «መንቃት ሲገባው የተጨፈነ አይን ፤ ይኮነን» አለ ይባላል።

i git cloned git and saw the first commit for no reason and it says " the information manager from hell"

repo link https://github.com/git/git/

steps

git clone git@github.com:git/git.git
cd git
git rev-list --max-parents=0 HEAD
git checkout e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290

commit e83c5163316f89bfbde7d9ab23ca2e25604af290 (HEAD)

    Initial revision of "git", the information manager from hell


The README 😁 "
  GIT - the stupid content tracker

"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.

 - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
   actually used by any common UNIX command.  The fact that it is a
   mispronounciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
 - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
   dictionary of slang.
 - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually, the information manager from hell
   works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. 
 - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks

This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager.  It
doesn't do a whole lot, but what it _does_ do is track directory
contents efficiently. "
