You've put most of my thoughts into words more eloquently than I would have :) If I'd add another point, I'd say that many skills of a good programmer don't necessarily relate to programming itself -- even still on the t

Well it might work as a joke, but I have to say that I had more than enough experiences with Powershell that drastically disprove that notion in my opinion. That is not to say that bash and consorts are much better, but e.g. a shell that de

A major factor why I wouldn't want to use Kopia (I looked into it) ist that it is opinionated with regards to how your system is set up (old-school unix FS layouts in a "pets, not cattle" way). It assumes the location of conf

To pile on here: I fundamentally agree with GP, but from your description, I think you ran into a separate issue from how Git's data structure works, too: Git (the CLI tool) is stateful . Just as you modify the index (which, fundament
