How would one go about reviewing a piece of code like this?

One of the things I'd typically do is peek at the commit history. Seeing what people worked on and how they did it tends to say a lot about a project. But with LLMs generating 7101 commits in less than a month that isn't feasible. Even looking at a single day is way too much [1]. It probably also doesn't make sense since the commits content won't tell you much anyway.

ps. How do you easily get to the first commit in a repo on GitHub? Browsing commit history feels rather tedious
