RIP.git Builds a Graveyard for Abandoned GitHub Repositories, Complete with AI Epitaphs

RIP.git is an open-source tool that turns a GitHub user's unmaintained projects into a static graveyard page. It pulls public, non-fork repositories through the GitHub API and classifies each as alive, dying, or dead based on days since its last push. Each repository gets a tombstone listing its status, time since death, last commit message, and an epitaph generated by the open-weight Gemma model via Ollama. Python handles all factual data, while Gemma is limited to writing the wording, with deterministic fallback text used when Ollama is unavailable. The project was built for Hacktoberfest's Open-Source AI Challenge and includes a fictional demo developer to avoid roasting real users.
