$ git checkout HEAD^
Note: switching to 'HEAD^'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

  git switch -c 

Or undo this operation with:

  git switch -

How to get Pluralistic:

programs behave surprisingly consistently

these are meant to be descriptive, not prescriptive

it’s not always obvious which “rules” are the program’s responsibility to implement

rule 1: noninteractive programs should quit when you press Ctrl-C

rule 2: TUIs should quit when you press q

rule 3: REPLs should quit when you press Ctrl-D on an empty line

rule 4: don’t use more than 16 colours

rule 5: vaguely support readline keybindings

rule 5.1: Ctrl-W should delete the last word

rule 6: disable colours when writing to a pipe

rule 1: noninteractive programs should quit when you press `Ctrl-C`

rule 2: TUIs should quit when you press `q`

rule 3: REPLs should quit when you press `Ctrl-D` on an empty line

rule 7: `-` means stdin/stdout

when you press `Ctrl-C` on a pipe, the contents of the buffer are lost

solution 4: use `stdbuf`

solution 5: use `unbuffer`

the build files aren’t always in the `dist` directory

example library 2: `@atcute/oauth-browser-client`

example library 3: `@atproto/oauth-client-browser`
