meta: Switch back to librewolf
After using firefox for a while, a deal-breaker for me was that the
regular version is impossible load custom extensions for without signing
them before-hand.

Although it's possible to load extensions through about:debugging every
time the web browser is started, it's significantly easier for me to
simply use librewolf and not worry about it. Additionally, I can now
leverage the many additional features librewolf has compared to firefox,
and now no longer have to worry about "configuring firefox" after
installing it.

Git

Git is the standard version control tool.

Use Cases

Git can be used to:

  • Keep track of file changes over time
  • Keep a record of all contributors to a code base
  • Rollback to a previous version of a project
  • Create snapshots of a project with tags (also known as versions)

You should not use Git if:

  • You are dealing with binary files
  • You are dealing with large files that change often

Usage

First, install diff-so-fancy, an amazing git diff utility.

Then, create a ~/.gituser with the following:

[user]
  name = <the name you use for git commits>
  email = <the email you use for git commits>
  signingkey = <the subkey you use to sign git commits>
