Wow. Motherload of the ideas I've been looking for! Let me see if I understand the workflow right:

1. create Pass location, in which
2. every file represents one password
3. git-control the whole location, so eg /Pass/.git

Is it a decision of tomb vs git? The tomb bit is the one I'm having a harder time piece together. Tomb encrypts entire directories, right?

@Parienve @turak passtomb and passwordstore were both new to me. Thanks for the references!

@turak Totally agree about not including sensitive information in code repos. These would be private (re: not even Github/lab) repos. But I have essentially avoided git for these files because it simply doesn't work. Is there any kind of internal solution that would maintain public encryption, but allow git-like reviewable synchronization of encrypted files?

I would like to use git to back-up, vc, and sync everything crucial on my text-based system, but some content, most notably my passwords file, are gpg encypted. This breaks git because reviewing changes essentially produces comparisons of gibberish. Does anyone know a solution for syncing/VC of encrypted data, which won't be only passwords?

https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong Nice old article on Microsoft getting TDD wrong in ways that many others have mistaken, too. Essentially, they suggested "waterfall-style TDD" which is a contradiction of terms. #TDD is meant to be fast and iterative. It is an absolute joy in #Clojure Cider (and presumably other toolings and languages), where you re-run the failing test with every re-evaluation, watching for that joyful green light to say that now you've passed. https://www.jamesshore.com/v2/blog/2005/microsoft-gets-tdd-completely-wrong

@skyblond so detached heads should be thought of as "read only", where other branches are ready to be changed and pushed?

@skyblond but why not just make it an ordinary branch? Why headless?

Why does #Git have a detached head state? This seems like nothing but a "gotcha" to make you frantically search for lost code when you thought you were working on someone else's branch.

@Sphinx EXWM on Linux. I sold Linux stability in exchange for power, and made myself vulnerable to things like this.

@Sphinx no, it's a software thing. Basically, upgrading a component of my OS.

Ugh. It's Friday. I simultaneously have the lack of wisdom so entertained a vain hope that upgrading that crucial thing won't destroy my system, and lack of energy to debug why my system wouldn't start. Now I type knowing that if I reboot right now, my system won't come up.
