Ah, went and checked my work laptop this morning. It’s actually set to:
!”git reset —hard HEAD && git clean -fdxgit itis the one that’s set to upstream.I also have
git some:add -p,git away:checkout -p,git out:!”git merge —abort 2> /dev/null || git rebase —abort 2> /dev/null #”And some complicated ones I’m not gonna type on my phone:
git on <foo>where foo is either “it”, in which case I use the appropriate main/master/develop branch and rebase on it; or foo is “up” in which case I do apull —rebaseand play a short audio clip of Get On Up; or foo is a nonexistent branch, in which case I massage the requested branch name to adhere to some conventions and then make a new branch and set the remote tracking branchgit with <foo>where the same “it” logic applies but it’s a merge; or foo is a commit SHA and it gets cherry-pickedgit upis just a pull but it plays a short audio clip of Get On Upgit rektat one point, but I think it just did the same asgit gudso I deleted itranzispa@mander.xyz · 1 pts · 107d

How many "do not hallucinates" does it take until the "memory window" forgets it's supposed to not hallucinate and then hallucinate?

Technically, nowadays, the system prompt is sent back with every user prompt, but I'm not convinced that was the case in 2024 😅

that's just good form, regardless of who's reading the md
that whole line is 3 tokens btw, they're wasting more time and energy just discussing that

Without this, we wouldn't be sure the agent does a good job!
