trunk was the common name before git anyway. Why the move away? I’ve heard it’s because git is more of a weird graph than the trunk+branch model of CVS. But if that’s the reasoning, master is still a stupid name because it implies the same primacy as trunk. Why not just default or start or something?

It’s awesome until you want to put the cursor in a specific spot of a previous command.

$ rm -f delete-me.txt
ctrl-r "me", ctrl-b, ctrl-k
$ rm -f delete

But I still use fzf because while I used to do the above, fzf offered more advantage that made switching worth it.

Was the tape to cover the write protect notch on the floppy?

If it’s not a tree, why call it a branch? Maybe branch doesn’t make any sense either. Maybe none of this makes any sense! Oh my God, what are we even doing here?!?! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

I’ll never understand why we didn’t just go back to saying “trunk”.
