Is it possible to use git diff /path/to/directory? I tried it on macOSX from the terminal but it just says "Not a git directory". If I cd into the directory it's fine.

there’s a property you can set for the git dir to use

--git-dir= ?

that points to the .git dir, and also there’s --work-tree=

with some combination of those, you can use git commands from other directories

Thank you @alexmiller works now, time to create a tool for analyzing some dependencies .. 😄

you can use git -C /path/to/directory to make git act as if it was started in that directory

MacOS: how do I show dotfiles in finder, I broke my .zshrc and now I can’t edit it anymore in zsh…

Ah fixed it, breaking your shell is no fun…

Any suggestions on a good distro for my new laptop, I am used to ubuntu, but want one that has a good balance of a decent ui and not too much setup required. I spend most of my time in a console/browser/emacs anyway.

i've been very happy with fedora. it is wayland based so sometimes have an issue with sharing entire desktop in video but otherwise it is rock solid, easy, and fresh

I installed Pop OS recently, it was fairly painless

The only bits I had to fiddle with were enabling TRIM on LUKS and making it sleep properly
