On the door stands something like "For Sale" and a telephone number. .. So I suspect the joke here is, that the telephone is not the actual owner of the garage, but some pranked friend of the author. That guy will now get calls regarding a garage he never heard of. Analogously Linus Torvalds is being talked about in this commit, while GitHub is responsible for not validating the commit authors.

@Bengt Your translation is correct. Also, garages for sale were so ubiquitous at some point in ex-USSR (and still are in some places) that posting “Garage for sale” in a random unrelated thread has become a running gag.

There is commit sign.

But if you have an on-platform rebasing workflow, all your precious signatures fall through the cracks.

Oh yes, rebasing without recorded trail is a largely untold horror for tracking authorship.

(I understand that this likely isn’t what you meant, but your comment just fit too well to ignore :-) )

Just lying about something is typically illegal only in specific circumstances (e.g., fraud, defamation), plus this particular joke is explained at the bottom of the page, so it's not really a lie.

(Disclaimers: laws vary widely depending on location, so it is possible that you'll live somewhere with draconian laws regarding citation. Also, I'm not a lawyer. I'm not responsible if this comment causes your dog to start speaking backwards German.)
