My favorite all time bug was the infamous "Bumblebee" commit of 2011[1].  IIRC this was the first github commit to go viral.  Make sure you have 30 minutes to read the thread.  It is gold.<p>I have written variants of "GIANT BUG... causing /usr to be deleted... so sorry...." into commit messages over the years.  Such a classic part of history.<p>[1] Commit thread:  <a href="https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/commit/a047be85247755cdbe0acce6f1dafc8beb84f2ac" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/commi...</a><p>[2] Issue thread (not as good):  <a href="https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issues/123" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/MrMEEE/bumblebee-Old-and-abbandoned/issue...</a><p>EDIT:  Github is timing out trying to load it.
