Pretty sure this is similar to how other web conferencing software detects compatible conferencing hardware via sound (out of our range). It's actually common and surprisingly effective method to communicate without Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, etc. Reminded me of those hacking stories you hear about jumping air gaps :)
Magit's more feature-rich and has better discoverability than tig, from what I can tell.
e.g. with tig, you invoke "!git commit" by pressing C from the status page.
With magit, from the status page, commit is performed by pressing cc. But, if you press only 'c', a context menu is brought up which shows the flags which can be set, and commands which can be run.
e.g. 'cc' is 'commit', but 'ca' is 'amend'.
e.g. An example of a flag might be "--force-with-lease". So, press 'P' opens the push context menu, '-f' enables the "--force-with-lease" flag, 'p' pushes to the remote. (Or just 'P-fp' quickly works, too).
tig looks like 80% of the benefits (much nicer to use than git) for 20% of the effort (not having to learn Emacs).
I love Tig for quickly visualising and browsing the Git tree. Wish it would support interactive rebase in a more elaborate way so you could maybe reorder or amend commits from the tree view itself, instead of breaking out into Git commands.
Wow that was tough to read. The writer seems incredibly calm given the experience -- I'd never be able to cope with that crap without punching someone. Kudos
Glad you're doing well man, and thanks for sharing your experience with us. As someone who has never liked anyone near his butt -- I feel like I should get over it and get tested on a regular basis -- and will remember to take book. Also will make sure it's real god damn book -- I mean how bad ass is that, reading about the exploits of the world's most famous samuarai while waiting for surgery. Wishing you good health!
MUSASHI is so good! I'm still about 3/4 of the way through it. It's so heavy to carry I was worried it would be over my 10 lb limit during recovery haha, but I'm all good.
