It does on macOS: https://ghostty.org/docs/features#macos

To some extent on Linux, too, but not under GNOME, apparently: https://ghostty.org/docs/install/release-notes/1-2-0#gtk:-qu...

Exactly, a tiny change in a large file produces a full new blob, but is stored very efficiently as a delta in a packfile.

Re:Scaling Golang CI by Replacing actions/setup-go on Friday September 18, 2026 @07:40PM (#49761736)
We recently did similar work for our pipelines, heavily based on Better GitHub Actions caching for Go [0]. Were you aware of that article, or did you (re-)discover things like the cache trimming?

What's the best way to contribute? I'd like to expose the "go-version-file" input for the setup-go action instead of setting a Go version directly. Open an issue in the repo?

Also, have you considered this potential optimization: the module cache doesn't care about architecture, it's just downloaded code. Would it make sense to cache module and build cache separately, and use an architecture-free cache key for the module cache?

The `|| true` is often done because people use `errexit` as part of "Bash strict mode"[1], which comes with so many caveats[2] that I usually avoid it. Claude, however, loves it.

Re:Ghostty is leaving GitHub on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @05:45PM (#47941277)
I love that https://github.com/yourhandle is an existing organization.
csvkit (https://github.com/wireservice/csvkit) has a "csvlook" command, and yq (https://github.com/mikefarah/yq) supports CSV as an input format.
Re:GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing on Monday April 27, 2026 @01:01PM (#47924238)
Some models, for example Opus 4.7 and GPT 5.5, are only available on Pro+; Pro+ has audit logs and GitHub Spark; that's about it, as far as I can tell from https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-cloud@latest/copilot/g...

Have you seen the `ssh-terminfo` option for shell integration? https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference#shell-integration-...

Maybe as an SSH app? See https://snakes.run for a recent example.

All attacks assume compromised servers.
Have you tried Tilt? https://tilt.dev/
There is history scrolling, you have to focus on the chat with tab first.
I love that graph! So many occurrences of "that's me" or "I know somebody exactly like that".
Re:Whose code am I running in GitHub Actions? on Tuesday March 25, 2025 @03:07PM (#43474666)
Shortened commit SHAs are actually not supported by Actions; if you try, you get

"Unable to resolve action `actions/checkout@11bd719`, the provided ref `11bd719` is the shortened version of a commit SHA, which is not supported. Please use the full commit SHA `11bd71901bbe5b1630ceea73d27597364c9af683` instead."

In Ideas That Created the Future [1], a curated and edited set of influential computer science papers, the Leibniz contribution is "The True Method" [2], which I read more or less as "if we could formalize everything, we could use mathematical methods to find answers to all questions".

In the collection of papers, it's picked because of its ideas later formalized in Boolean logic, and logic programming in general.

Oh wow, I could have sworn! Did you never use bubble tea and bubbles, or did you remove them at some point?
The GitHub CLI (https://cli.github.com/) uses Bubble Tea. There's no good way to find popular dependents, but you can browse https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea/network/dependent... to see GitHub repos that import the module.

A rudimentary version of this used to be integrated into Giphy[1], but it seems to be broken now, meaning the market is wide open for this! ;)
