I appreciate the time you took to document your journey in the source file. In most github repos, all we see is the end result of hours or days of work (especially when authors blow away their commit history by squashing prior to to sharing), and the comments that explain everything you tried that /didn't/ work are just as illustrative and educational as knowing what does work.
- jacobevelyn 9y agoThanks, I appreciate the kind words! (And I'm glad at least one person actually read through that.) In this case, I think I was "helped" by the fact that I consider myself relatively inexperienced with both shell scripting and advanced git usage. This gave me an irrational fear that I would publish this repo and get lots of "why didn't you just do X" responses, so writing down my journey was at least one way of showing that I actually tried a few different approaches and while my eventual solution may not be the best I know it's not the worst :)
