Perhaps you've concluded that I love Git, and I love teaching it—I am @looselytyped on Twitter (DMs are open) if you want to reach out and we can carry out a conversation elsewhere—always willing to talk Git. Edit—I replied to the wrong comment. My apologies kqr. This was meant for VeninVidiaVicii.
