It's weird that GitHub shows time since the last commit, but not time since the first commit. It's a nice way of seeing how mature a project is.

Phabricator appended a URL to commit messages, which helped. In principle PR merging could do the same thing.
I'm experimenting with jj this weekend. It seems pretty nice so far, but the mental model is pretty different from git.
For example, there's no `checkout` command. You do `jj new ABC` to switch to a commit, which creates a new empty commit on top of ABC.
