Good idea. Other: Let it return something long other than yes / no to waste token and possibly crash the service.

While you’re at it, also test

• one
• three fifty
• 69 nice
• 6.9
• 4,20
• null (it’s German for zero)
• pie (and pi)
• cake
• fruits
• One million three hundred (wonder if it gets confused by “one” and “three”)

Heuristic: keep it until 512, afterwards powers of 2, and numbers like 1000, 2000,…, 10000, 20000,… (regex: [0-9]000+)

Checking the diff before commit, solve merge conflicts

Also if it’s well integrated into the IDE it feels less like using a separate tool. For 95% of what I do the ide/gui feels better (fetch, pull, push, commit, checkout, merge). Usually just 2-4 clicks and no need to type the branch name (ticket number and then some)

For Reflog, reset I use the terminal.

If I had to start github desktop or another seperate gui I would use the terminal that’s integrated into the IDE.
