seems like the commit messages lines are in reverse order. tell me what you did. then tell me why you did. leave the saga for the end text so I don't have to read through your musings to get to the meat.

Shameless comment: i'm in that video: https://youtu.be/jvJjFYHGTnU?t=34m29s The Amiga was a good product, the engineering team was solid: the love for the product did not translate into success.

one can target specific editors... for instance, if I know you are using VI I can create a series of characters that will escape out of insert mode and run a shell command (note: ^[ is ESC (ascii 27)) git status ^[ :!echo foo

by keithgabryelski 11y ago
I do this also, although it is only a little safer: if someone added a ^D to the text it could thwart your attempt at protection: as: git status ^D echo foo

haters gonna hate. The real issue: don't write power-points that are meant to be studied -- power-points are meant as a presentation addition. the only things I demand on a power-points are two numbers at the bottom 1) the slide number

by keithgabryelski 12y ago
