that seems like a lot
Something weird about that figure. Branches within repos maybe, otherwise those are mostly junk or their supply chain attack security requirements had them cloning and building themselves the repos of every open source library they've ever used for vulnerability scans.
the article links to this list of repos https://files.catbox.moe/jx7ksm.txt and says is 6200 lines long.
i am not framiliar enough with this kind of development to know if this is a reasonable structure for this kind of large project. anyone?
Looks like they put each of their modules in a separate repo. This wouldn't be a single project. NYTimes is a pretty huge operation. They obviously have their website but they also have apps, infrastructure to ingest and process whatever media they get, infrastructure for ads, games, security (lol), user account management, billing, legal, etc etc.
it's possible this is organized differently in their source control and it appears kinda disorganized because we're looking at it flattened.
It's probably just every repository name on their spurce control management server. Users can usually create their own repositories whenever. So a bunch if these could just be random little experiments or side projects people made.
Spruce Control is all the rage these days, but what about Douglass Fir Control?
