Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the commit dates on the Commits page (https://github.com/refined github/refined github/commits/). Look for existing patterns in the codebase that add hyperlinks to specific elements (e.g., issue references or timestamps). The implementation should wrap each commit date in an anchor tag linking to a relevant anchor (e.g., commit hash or time based fragment). Consider potential changes to the source file(s) responsible for rendering the commit history.
