This GitHub repository is a fork of the original Jason Huggin's tapsterbot project. It contains also improvements (direct or not) from Dan Cuellar's fork. Some part of this project have been implemented by myself in my leasure time. A fork on Orange-OpenSource exists.
Several years ago, I noticed the Git history was crappy and fucked up. There were some data leaks, wrong email address was used, got a lot of spam, commits links to the GitHub account's were not created because of bad pseudo... No DCO, no GPG-signing, too heavy files were versioned... It was a big mess. Trials to clean the history failed, that is the reason why the project was deleted and created again. Yep, newbie failure between 2016 and 2019, don't remember well. I am not proud at all, and that case is a "good" example for my students (>_<)
