This Guy just stacks a ton of projects in a single repository. I feel bad for him

    Maybe it's just to collect all example projects ? They don't seem to be very complex and he has other repos.

    I have to admit I do the same (but in a private repo, with closed source projects).
    If you have a lot of small projects, it becomes unhandy creating dozens of separate repos for them.

    In this case is different though, because they are open source.

    I have a public repo called 'code-snippets' where I put, as the name implies, code snippets. Example code, small projects, etc.

    These may be just small one script codes or snippets, if so then he is kinda doing the right thing. It's not feasible to manage so many repos just for small code snippets

    Tell that to Google, they put everything into a single git repo.

    Maybe he doesn't want to pay for more private repos? So he puts all his public code into one repo? This is why I use GitLab instead of Github. GitLab lets me have unlimited private projects and I don't have to pay a dime.

    They don't, they have their own private CVS.
    Doing a git clone on a Repository with hundrets of Terabytes would probably not be too efficient

    @StopMotionCuber Maybe you should read about it before saying they don't and that it's not efficient: https://m.cacm.acm.org/magazines/...

    Yes, they have a singleton of knowledge and power.
    But it is clearly stated that this is not git and that was my point. If it was git, they would not be able to do anything on the repository as git has no real mechanism to do a partial checkout
