Bits and bytes of code

I frequently switch between Git branches inside of Neovim using Telescope, but it's also handy to be able to switch branches using fuzzy find when outside of Neovim.

I've started to use git worktrees more lately but one of the pain points I had was that they don't copied ignored files such as .env files. I found I was able to improve this workflow by adding a post-checkout hook.

I use shell aliases quite heavily to simplify common CLI commands. However, one of my biggest pain points when using them is they didn't work as well in certain complex commands.

I recently came across a Raycast extension that allows you to play/pause music from YouTube music while it's running in your browser. After exploring how it worked internally given I was a bit astonished it is even possible, I found that it's all just using AppleScript.

I was writing a script the other day that I needed to accept some optional arguments. I found that I could use the getopt command, but turns out the simple approach was cleaner in the end.
