I often forget to push a few things depending on how Git decides to label my work. Today it labeled a move as a file deletion and add, and only the deletion is present on the upstream, and now the upstream doesn't even compile properly. And I don't want to pull out my hair to resolve yet another conflict, because the only help with Git I can get is jUsT reAD ThE WhoLE maNUaL.

One other thing is that I refuse to use VSCode, especially since they're pushing AI slop code generation so much, and I use KATE instead.
