Nice git experience.
With A and B being logical streams of development I made a mess:
main -> A1 -> B1 -> A2 -> B2 -> B3
\-> A3
\-> B4 ... B10
I mixed A, B before noticing the need for 2 branches. I did:
- Switch to A3, rebase interactively to B1'...B3' A1'...A3'
- Switch to B3, rebase interactively and delete all the Ai in front
- Rebase B10 onto B3'.
I de-mixed two streams of development into their respective branches.😀
Watch it happen with gitk --reflog.

I wanted to try darcs and pijul vcs for quite sometime, but never had enough motivation, because it completely new ecosystems with different tooling.
Recently I learned about Jujutsu, which reuses fundamental ideas of darcs, but uses git as a storage backend, so I can use it with existing projects and tools.

I found a demo, and it is pretty neat and makes so much sense:

@stadtkind @edwtjo Well I really got into a spin. When doing the above where you
1. pull a new flake down into a directory with a new name /flake-new
2. rename the old /flake directory /flake-old
3. rename /flake-new as /flake
4. try nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
caused the rebuild command to bug. It just kept giving me the old generation... full report here https://codeberg.org/adingbatponder/reticulum_nixos_flake/src/branch/main/docs/nixos-rebuild-switch-bug.md #nixos #rebuild #flake #git #generations (warning, AI Claude Code was used)

🌗 利用 Delta、fzf 與 Shell 腳本打造極致的 Git Diff 體驗
➤ 透過現代化 CLI 工具提升你的 Git 工作流效率
✤ https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/awesome-git-diffs-with-delta-fzf-and-a-little-shell-scripting
在程式開發過程中，高效地比對代碼差異是提升產能的關鍵。作者 Nick Janetakis 分享了他如何將 Git 與 Delta 和 fzf 深度整合。透過 Delta，開發者能獲得更直觀、具備雙色調的文字差異顯示；結合 fzf，他還撰寫了一個名為 `gd` 的自訂腳本，讓開發者能以互動式選單快速在不同檔案間切換，大幅簡化 PR 審查與版本比對的流程。這套配置不僅能無縫嵌入原有的 Git 指令，還能透過簡單設定，讓 `git diff`、`git show` 與 `git blame` 等指令瞬間升級。
+ 這篇文章真是及時雨！我一直覺得預設的 Git Diff 介面太難閱讀，Delta 的雙色調顯

Any tips and tricks for using #git for #nix #nixos #flakes : when the "mother flake" flake lives on a public repo & is set up to provide multiple #configurations for different machines built using:
nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#<machine_name>
I dug myself into a hole by copying the files from the mother flake repo to set up a new machine and the flake on my new machine has diverged & cannot be merged back into the mother flake repo because I did not *clone* it down so has no common git history

Days since I pushed out of date changes to a #Git branch: 0
Seriously, how is `--force-with-lease` not the default (or even configurable)?
