that goes really fast. What you're left with is an empty, bare, depth=1 git clone. So ... nothing? |

cd into that and you'll recognize your surroundings as the contents of a .git directory. cool |

git rev-list --objects --all |

to download the objects. And it's resumable! Probably less efficient than git clone itself... oh well |

so yeah you just run that command over and over, it'll get an object at a time. In the meantime you can browse individual files with: |

git show master:bsd-user/qemu.h |

You'll see objects stream in with the download `git rev-list` command, so you can peek at them as you go. Then when you're all done I think you can clone the repository to make it not bare .. tbd ... |

Whoops cleaned some stuff by mistake! Gone are some junks that I forgot about
editor-testing $ git clean -xdn Would remove .pytest_cache/ Would remove .yarn/ Would remove __pycache__/ Would remove constant.py Would remove headless_emacs.py Would remove poetry.lock Would remove pyproject.toml Would remove test_open_emacs_and_quit.py Would remove vim_experiment.py editor-testing $ git clean -fxd Removing .pytest_cache/ Removing .yarn/ Removing __pycache__/ Removing constant.py Removing headless_emacs.py Removing poetry.lock Removing pyproject.toml Removing test_open_emacs_and_quit.py Removing vim_experiment.py
whoops!! Again I confused "untracked" with "ignored" - I only wanted to clear the ignored files, so that I could cleanly reinstall the dependencies. Would be good to have a safe-cleanup function that would back them up or put them in ~/.trash or something... cause I lost those for sure !! Though I did have some fun looking up extundelete.
extundelete --restore-directory . /dev/nvme0n1
Didn't work. Oh well! Also it warned me about working on a mounted filesystem. Ignored that err
