You have to copy/paste Git commit SHAs often. Sometimes, you need to relay them to someone else, but rather than saying "eff one bee zero three sea five nine bee" etc., wouldn't you rather just say: "come-4-bugs" or "frog-9-bath"?

Commitwords are the solution: sayable short commit SHAs: https://github.com/rswindell/commitword

Also: https://gitword.replit.app (for a nice Web/mobile UI)

And they're fun...
