Lets say that there are only 3 methods and method #2 is the one that works initially. On the first call it'll try #1 and when that doesn't work it'll try #2 which will be successful. For the next however many calls it'll

IMO using a language's package manager to install applications is a massive anti-pattern, that should be handled by your OS package manager.

`rebase -i` is fine (`commit --fixup` and `rebase --autosquash -i` is better), squashing all commits down into one is not (at least doing it all the time is not).

An entire second to print 10 characters?! How does a terminal that slow even exist?
