why are you passing User-Agent?

@zilahir I wrote this almost 6 years ago. I have no idea why I did it. It probably didn't work with the default wget user agent.

@skwashd haha no worries! I came across this thingy on twitter, and this question raised. :) good work though!

@zilahir now I'm curious how it ended up in a twitter discussion. Can you please link me to the thread?

thanks you @skwashd it helped me a lot ! https://gist.github.com/62mkv/394357262058b75c71c9a31c75a08d2b#file-stop-word-for-commits-md

I added multi-language support and example to use with https://pre-commit.com/ here https://gist.github.com/pmoranga/c6997d08fa1e7b51625bf532ca1c603e

Helpful to make sure that debug print statements don't end up in commits.
