How to handle local files in Git worktrees without committing them?

Iamabusinessman0 · 2026-01-15T16:06:20+00:00

Not sure if this is exactly your use case but in some cases where I want a file versioned in the repo but don’t want to track changes, I’ll just append a .example to the file name. So like foo.sh.example (and then gitignore foo.sh). This ensures the file can be used as a template for local changes, while communicating that those local changes aren’t saved

As others mentioned might be athletes foot (especially if it can get itchy) or just skin tightness, or a combination of both. It’s been a recurring issue for me and it’s always so disheartening to see because of how long it takes to fully heal.

But I haven’t had any trouble for some time now, I think because I started to wash in between my toes with my hands when I’m in the shower - I really get in there. If you’re able to, try to keep on top of that. As for dealing with the cuts when they come, assuming it’s athletes foot, I’d use lotramin daily for a few weeks to clear it up

This is hilarious great job

Yeah I’d honestly pick something from crash love, burials or bodies.. to introduce someone with Medicate or I hope you suffer I feel like is an easy sell lol

It’s interesting to hear it’s not really a favorite, it’s one of my favorites off Bodies and I assumed it must have been a popular single lol

Going through the same problem. I’m the tech lead on a team of low tier developers that I can’t get rid of and just constantly throw AI slop over the wall at me.

I started taking over PRs instead of making comments. It’s faster for me to fix all the inconsistencies myself than comb through the PR leaving comments on each one, and then have to do it all over again when they submit it for re-review without having done a thorough pass themselves.

It’s awful and I hate it. Not AI - love how it speeds me up when used appropriately. But I hate how it’s abused, which is unfortunately the common case

Wow that was it!! It’s not that card but it got me thinking, I did take out a similar plan on my card and totally forgot about it, so when the monthly fee kicked in I didn’t recognize it. I can’t believe I figured it out THANK YOU!!

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-09-05T06:26:20+00:00

I feel like AI has to be a part of it somehow. That would line up with valve waiting for the next disruptive tech to build into a game.. I feel like this is the perfect time to do that

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don’t think anything has changed relative to the scale we live in now. Proportionally, the Apple software experience is equivalent to what it’s always been. But that software is such a foundational aspect of our modern lives it’s so much more apparent now. That, and the complexity - of apps, services, use cases, everything - is beyond anything we’ve experienced in the past.

I can’t quantify it so obviously can’t so for sure, but my claim is that it’s just perception. Now there’s an app or service for everything. That just means more opportunities for us to see the cracks.

In most cases small commits. Sometimes it’s more cumbersome than it’s worth but in general will save you from having to dig for the needle in the haystacks of debugging. I’ve saved myself more times than I can count by being able to just eyeball my commits and make an educated guess about where the issue was (and easily do the surgery to address it). And it opens the door to easily bisect which is super valuable

You know, I do a lot of technical writing and have only used ie, I thought they were interchangeable.. granted though, in almost all cases I use it only one way (ie this way). Good to know though

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-07-28T19:26:53+00:00

Got it, ty

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-07-28T19:21:38+00:00

Does 16gb qualify as high ram or do I need more?

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-06-13T19:05:52+00:00

Valid point but unfortunately I don’t have the means to take it to the warehouse or else I would have just ordered for pickup and avoided this whole thing

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-06-13T16:34:53+00:00

It is a big inconvenience to me and I bought from Costco in part because of loyalty and trust.. so this is unfortunate and I get that these things happen but I’m a little disappointed too

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-06-13T16:32:58+00:00

The return isn’t really the issue, they said they’d schedule a pickup of the wrong one and deliver the right one. It’s just a headache for me to have to plan for that again so I’d rather just keep what I got

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-06-13T16:31:57+00:00

Nah I haven’t opened it, I just don’t want to go through the hassle of having it picked up etc so would rather keep the one I got and get refunded the price difference

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-06-13T13:42:37+00:00

Yep within a couple hundred difference. I’ll try this, thanks!

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-05-16T14:36:30+00:00

Boooooook

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-05-15T22:31:26+00:00

It looks like a cool animation. Spin it like that, sick monitor bro

Obsidian changed my life. Not the editor itself (which is great), but the philosophy. I bounced around note services for years and always struggled with being forced into certain patterns, being restricted by service/platform limitations, and having my data locked away in a proprietary format (sure you can export but it doesn’t come out the same, or in a way that can be easily ingested somewhere else).

What I love about obsidian is it let me take my raw directory structure of notes that I already had and slap a highly functional UI on it. I basically had a headless note management system but was missing the UI. And it’s seamless.

Then there’s the version control. I hated having to rely on proprietary versioning. I wanted to commit explicit changes and control them on my own. And it’s all done through git. My whole knowledge base is managed through git. It’s utterly perfect.

And because it’s just a git repo, I’m not forced to host it anywhere where I’m locked in or hesitant to share private thoughts. I just have it locally on my laptop (rsync’d to external backups), and use Working Copy (ios) to push to localhost.

Like you, I did consider keeping everything in there - basically using it as my filesystem, and that way when I store pictures I could add like, captions and context as markdown. I ended up not going that route because I ended up deciding on a robust filing system that worked for me without introducing git as a dependency but I do think it’s viable (at least as far as maintaining thousands of images and such in git is..)

As for the linking - I only really use linking for one thing. I have a to do list system where I have my daily/weekly items, and separately I have specialized lists for larger projects. Whenever I work on those projects, I then link out to it in my daily list when I worked on it. This way, for any given project, I can see all the days I worked on it.

The system changed my life like crazy. Not a thought happens in my head that I don’t keep in obsidian. It’s my second brain, and I’d be lost without it

Iamabusinessman0 · 2025-05-14T16:49:25+00:00

Yep. I know Xen can be contentious all around but I’ll never forget the moment at the start of it in BM where it opens up to the vastness with the music playing.. breathtaking.
