Yeah I actually just prefer the command line, I've never had to force myself to use it. I even tried using VSC for a bit recently but i couldn't get myself to like it. I just use nvim with some plugins in a tmux session now and its productive as hell.

Of course I don't browse the web with the command line. For merging branches, I always merge main into the working branch first, check conflict files, and go through the file finding the diffs and resolving them. I've used merge tools before that were sorta nice but I had my own issues with them.

Maybe it's the type of programming I do. I don't do any web stuff, so file count is down. For larger code bases I keep a non editor terminal up and will grep -re for word/phrase searching, find to look for specific files, etc. I'll occasionally use an IDE, typically eclipse based because embedded, but I don't find myself missing the features they add.

Thanks for the explanation, that does sound useful.

That's fair, there's plenty of uses for source control.

I was speaking from a programming context though, as this is a programming community.

I really never understood why one would need a GUI for git except for visualizing branches.

I feel like I'm crazy seeing so many people using clicky buttons for tracking files. I need like 4 commands for 95% of what I do and the rest you look up.

You're already programming! Just learn the tool!

And now there's a github CLI tool? I hate to beat a dead horse but Microsoft pushing their extended version of an open source tool/protocol is literally the second step of their mantra.

I believe it. Once big work horses were more available, people stopped tearing down the moose on-location and just dragged it home. In more modern times, they'll use a 4x4. This particular area was extremely rutted so they couldn't get anything wheeled back there, and where do you even find a Clydesdale rental service this day and age?

I had some moose that was given to me by my friend who was present at his friends moose hunt. They had to break the animal down at the location and make multiple meat sack trips to the game warden for tagging. The warden said they hadn't seen someone do it like that for a century.

I do think that the highway emphasis is important, as you're typically traveling faster and you don't want to take your eyes off the road more than you have to. Having the bright yellow highway for things like complex offramps has been helpful to me in the past. I'll just have to see how it goes.

looking again, the greater contrast for smaller roads is nice.

Why would you change the roads to grey from yellow? What? What is the primary thing your eye is seeking when using a GPS app?

A typo in the first paragraph of the article in a wiki wont make the 5th paragraph tear down the entire wiki.

I should take another look into it. Thanks!

Web assembly isn't quite the same as a js frontend though, is it?

It's typically for complex single page apps and has some weirdness with normal usecases, no?

I could be wrong but I was looking into it a few months ago and it seemed immature.
