Kobold necromancer and snake skeleton

it has come to my attention that my best attempt at designing a fursona nevertheless looks like it would be more at home as the mascot for an open source software project

this is what it would look like if you take the little guy from my avatar and return him to his native habitat

ORIG_HEAD points to whatever the previous HEAD was, before the last git pull (or other branch-modifying operation).

I find it particularly useful after pulling, because you can see the changes that you just pulled by running git log ORIG_HEAD..HEAD or git diff ORIG_HEAD..HEAD. No need to copy-paste the hashes from git pull's Updating abc7def..1337420 output - ORIG_HEAD..HEAD is always the right range of commits!

idk how well-known this is, but I only found out about it recently, despite using Git for years now. (Though I mostly use Git via GUIs, where it's a lot more obvious which commits are being added by a pull, so I had less of a need to look for a generic solution to this.)

Absolutely incredible trick I didn't know

furries' home world is called "furaffinity" and their sun is e621
