The drawback is that if you think your session is hanging and want to bail with ~., you have to press enter, which might actually make it to the server and execute something.

many get used to Ctrl-U, Return, ~, period keystroke sequence for this.

Indeed, it does! Somehow i had missed it!

Thank you very much!

After being a software engineer for a while, coming back to mathematics really felt like this at times. Amazingly good analogy.


Branches can be sorted.

    git config branch.sort ...

I had configured that one ever since reading this very helpful article, which I suspect I discovered through HN a while ago:
