> Take the first 7 characters of the version (`896e810`, in this example) and browse [`github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/main`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commits/main) to find the commit that correlates to the version in the `meta` tag.

Why not merely embed a direct hyperlink to the commit?

> The markdown preview ran cooked-element decorators before oneboxes
> loaded and ne…ver again, so anything decorating a onebox, such as the
> event card for event topics, only appeared after the next keystroke. The
> preview now re-cooks once a onebox or inline onebox loads, so decorators
> and inline titles show up immediately.
> 
> Re-cooking rebuilds links that are still loading, which would queue them
> again, so the onebox queue now skips fetching a URL an earlier entry has
> already resolved.
