Git Question

Jul 2, 2018

I have a Git question. I kind of know how to do this but in a horrible brut forced way and I’d like to know if there is a “better” or more “elegant” way to do it.

The letters A-I are misleading. The actual repository has around 600 commits (and close to 1000 files/directories).

I have a master branch (A-F) and I created a new branch (G,H,I) and have been actively working on it. The master branch has had a few commits since the branch, but not a lot.

Penny Wise and Pound Foolish

Jun 26, 2018

Not sure where the phrase “penny wise and pound foolish” comes from. I suppose I could look it up on the internets, but that seems like too much work. As a kid, this phrase made no sense to me, it was only later when I realized that a “pound” was a form of English money that it kind of fell into place.

We did a lot of things right when building Thimbleweed Park. We also did a few things wrong. It goes with “making games”.
