I really enjoyed this perspective! One comment:

git patch ...

I don't think that's a thing? There are things known as "patches", which are basically diffs saved to a file (in fact, usually using git diff > mychanges.patch) that you can "apply" later using git apply ...; is that what you meant?

Probably! The idea of "patching" is something I read about at the last minute and wanted to put into the right mental "box." But I'd literally just skimmed it and made some assumptions. :-) Good to know!

This is why blogging on Dev is so great.
