If you’re working on Kitten¹ from source, please clone a fresh copy.

I just rewrote history to reduce the repository size (correctly this time, including all references from branches, tags, etc.).

The good news is that – contrary to what the Codeberg interface is currently showing the size to be (176MB) – the repository is only about 5MB now so it should only take a couple of seconds to clone.

(If you’re wondering why the repository was 176MB to begin with, it’s because I was initially deploying from the /dist folder in the repository. But since then I created a special deployment site for Kitten and now Kittens come from, well, where else but https://kittens.small-web.org.)

PS. It takes me ~3.5 seconds to build and deploy a new version of Kitten so its common for there to be multiple new versions in a day. Run `kitten update` to get the latest.

I think every javascript webdev has accidentally commited dist at least once :)

Probably, yes. But in this case, it wasn’t accidental but practical. I was using it to deploy from before I had a chance to build a better system :)
