#git command line

[animentality]

I say the like most basic of coding shit to my work uncle and he's like I DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT COMPUTERS.

And it's like my dude, my guy... I majored in anthropology.

Believe me. I dont know shit either.

I just know the bare basics now, because I work with software engineers all the time. It's like living in a foreign country for a year.

you learn the local language.

"git sweep" Alias - Delete All Local Branches Linked To Deleted Remote Branches With Just One Command!

I used to waste so much time deleting local and remote branches I was done with.

Now I just delete my remote branches (e.g. on GitHub) then run this command:

git sweep

and just like that, my local branches that track remote branches are automatically deleted!

Now let's go over how you can add this command...

What is "git sweep"?

"git sweep" is a git alias I created that is a shortcut that does the following:

Runs the "git fetch --prune" command to delete all references to remote branches.

Find local branches linked to deleted remote branches (these are marked as "gone") then deletes them.

Setting the alias

You can set it using the "git config" command or by editIng the git config file directly.

Here's the command to set the alias with the "git config" command:

git config --global alias.sweep "! git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '\$2 == \"[gone]\" {print \$1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

Here's an example of what the config file should look like with the alias added:

[alias] sweep = ! "git fetch -p && git for-each-ref --format '%(refname:short) %(upstream:track)' | awk '$2 == \"[gone]\" {print $1}' | xargs -r git branch -D"

Can someone explain to me in like five seconds how to use git, assuming that I know basic shit about coding/command line/whatever but don't know any of the specific terminology related to git. Like every tutorial online is at the same time both over my head and also vastly too basic. Just like. Tell me what it is.

Uh. First tell me its ontology. Is it a program, a standard, a language...? I know that it's for version control. Suppose I wanted to do version control at a piece of code. What do I do. What buttons do I press, on my computer? Tell me these things.

[codingquill]

Welcome back, coding enthusiasts! Today we'll talk about Git & Github , the must-know duo for any modern developer. Whether you're just starting out or need a refresher, this guide will walk you through everything from setup to intermediate-level use. Let’s jump in!

What is Git?

Git is a version control system. It helps you as a developer:

Track changes in your codebase, so if anything breaks, you can go back to a previous version. (Trust me, this happens more often than you’d think!)

Collaborate with others : whether you're working on a team project or contributing to an open-source repo, Git helps manage multiple versions of a project.

In short, Git allows you to work smarter, not harder. Developers who aren't familiar with the basics of Git? Let’s just say they’re missing a key tool in their toolkit.

What is Github ?

GitHub is a web-based platform that uses Git for version control and collaboration. It provides an interface to manage your repositories, track bugs, request new features, and much more. Think of it as a place where your Git repositories live, and where real teamwork happens. You can collaborate, share your code, and contribute to other projects, all while keeping everything well-organized.

Git & Github : not the same thing !

Git is the tool you use to create repositories and manage code on your local machine while GitHub is the platform where you host those repositories and collaborate with others. You can also host Git repositories on other platforms like GitLab and BitBucket, but GitHub is the most popular.

Installing Git (Windows, Linux, and macOS Users)

You can go ahead and download Git for your platform from (git-scm.com)

Using Git

You can use Git either through the command line (Terminal) or through a GUI. However, as a developer, it’s highly recommended to learn the terminal approach. Why? Because it’s more efficient, and understanding the commands will give you a better grasp of how Git works under the hood.

GitWorkflow

Git operates in several key areas:

Working directory (on your local machine)

Staging area (where changes are prepared to be committed)

Local repository (stored in the hidden .git directory in your project)

Remote repository (the version of the project stored on GitHub or other hosting platforms)

Let’s look at the basic commands that move code between these areas:

git init: Initializes a Git repository in your project directory, creating the .git folder.

git add: Adds your files to the staging area, where they’re prepared for committing.

git commit: Commits your staged files to your local repository.

git log: Shows the history of commits.

git push: Pushes your changes to the remote repository (like GitHub).

git pull: Pulls changes from the remote repository into your working directory.

git clone: Clones a remote repository to your local machine, maintaining the connection to the remote repo.

Branching and merging

When working in a team, it’s important to never mess up the main branch (often called master or main). This is the core of your project, and it's essential to keep it stable.

To do this, we branch out for new features or bug fixes. This way, you can make changes without affecting the main project until you’re ready to merge. Only merge your work back into the main branch once you're confident that it’s ready to go.

Getting Started: From Installation to Intermediate

Now, let’s go step-by-step through the process of using Git and GitHub from installation to pushing your first project.

Configuring Git

After installing Git, you’ll need to tell Git your name and email. This helps Git keep track of who made each change. To do this, run:

Master vs. Main Branch

By default, Git used to name the default branch master, but GitHub switched it to main for inclusivity reasons. To avoid confusion, check your default branch:

Pushing Changes to GitHub

Let’s go through an example of pushing your changes to GitHub.

First, initialize Git in your project directory:

Then to get the ‘untracked files’ , the files that we haven’t added yet to our staging area , we run the command

Now that you’ve guessed it we’re gonna run the git add command , you can add your files individually by running git add name or all at once like I did here

And finally it's time to commit our file to the local repository

Now, create a new repository on GitHub (it’s easy , just follow these instructions along with me)

Assuming you already created your github account you’ll go to this link and change username by your actual username : https://github.com/username?tab=repositories , then follow these instructions :

You can add a name and choose wether you repo can be public or private for now and forget about everything else for now.

Once your repository created on github , you’ll get this :

As you might’ve noticed, we’ve already run all these commands , all what’s left for us to do is to push our files from our local repository to our remote repository , so let’s go ahead and do that

And just like this we have successfully pushed our files to the remote repository

Here, you can see the default branch main, the total number of branches, your latest commit message along with how long ago it was made, and the number of commits you've made on that branch.

Now what is a Readme file ?

A README file is a markdown file where you can add any relevant information about your code or the specific functionality in a particular branch—since each branch can have its own README.

It also serves as a guide for anyone who clones your repository, showing them exactly how to use it.

You can add a README from this button:

Or, you can create it using a command and push it manually:

But for the sake of demonstrating how to pull content from a remote repository, we’re going with the first option:

Once that’s done, it gets added to the repository just like any other file—with a commit message and timestamp.

However, the README file isn’t on my local machine yet, so I’ll run the git pull command:

Now everything is up to date. And this is just the tiniest example of how you can pull content from your remote repository.

What is .gitignore file ?

Sometimes, you don’t want to push everything to GitHub—especially sensitive files like environment variables or API keys. These shouldn’t be shared publicly. In fact, GitHub might even send you a warning email if you do:

To avoid this, you should create a .gitignore file, like this:

Any file listed in .gitignore will not be pushed to GitHub. So you’re all set!

Cloning

When you want to copy a GitHub repository to your local machine (aka "clone" it), you have two main options:

Clone using HTTPS: This is the most straightforward method. You just copy the HTTPS link from GitHub and run:

It's simple, doesn’t require extra setup, and works well for most users. But each time you push or pull, GitHub may ask for your username and password (or personal access token if you've enabled 2FA).

But if you wanna clone using ssh , you’ll need to know a bit more about ssh keys , so let’s talk about that.

Clone using SSH (Secure Shell): This method uses SSH keys for authentication. Once set up, it’s more secure and doesn't prompt you for credentials every time. Here's how it works:

So what is an SSH key, actually?

Think of SSH keys as a digital handshake between your computer and GitHub.

Your computer generates a key pair:

A private key (stored safely on your machine)

A public key (shared with GitHub)

When you try to access GitHub via SSH, GitHub checks if the public key you've registered matches the private key on your machine.

If they match, you're in — no password prompts needed.

Steps to set up SSH with GitHub:

Generate your SSH key:

2. Start the SSH agent and add your key:

3. Copy your public key:

Then copy the output to your clipboard.

Add it to your GitHub account:

Go to GitHub → Settings → SSH and GPG keys

Click New SSH key

Paste your public key and save.

5. Now you'll be able to clone using SSH like this:

From now on, any interaction with GitHub over SSH will just work — no password typing, just smooth encrypted magic.

And there you have it ! Until next time — happy coding, and may your merges always be conflict-free! ✨👩‍💻👨‍💻

developing solution - @moonchaser-microfic - wc: 955

Developing Solution: a potion that is used in developing wizard photos, to make them move.

Remus didn’t mean to get so into Muggle Studies.

It started off as a scheduling thing—he had too many awkward gaps between Charms and Defense Against the Dark Arts and needed to plug them with something. Muggle Studies was available, and it was either that or spend two hours pretending not to nap in the library.

He didn’t expect to find it interesting, much less to start staying after class to ask questions, borrowing Muggle magazines from Professor Burbage, and scribbling notes in a separate, beat-up notebook that he didn’t even show to James.

What really got him was the photography unit. It started with an old camera Professor Burbage brought in—bulky, with a leather strap and a clunky shutter click that Remus became immediately obsessed with. The idea that Muggles could freeze a moment, capture it forever, without any magic at all, felt like something out of fantasy.

“It's like a Pensieve,” he told James that night, eyes lit up and fingers still smudged with ink from taking too many notes, “but more deliberate. It’s a choice. You pick the moment. The angle. What gets remembered.”

James just blinked at him from the bed, lying flat on his back with his arms tucked behind his head.

“But they don’t even move,” he said. “Where’s the fun in that?”

Remus grinned and rolled over onto his side to face him. “That’s the point. It’s a still life. It makes you look closer.”

James huffed. “I look plenty close. Like right now, I’m looking at you. Closely. Admiringly. Thoroughly.”

Remus kicked him lightly. “Git.”

James just grinned.

By the time spring rolled around, Remus had commandeered half of the empty classroom next to Burbage’s office and turned it into a makeshift darkroom. It smelled strongly of vinegar and magic—the odd combination of Muggle chemistry and the wizarding world’s enhancement spells used to make the photographs move, just barely. A twitch of a smile, the flick of someone turning their head—it wasn’t like wizarding photos, not exactly. More subtle. Like the moment itself was holding its breath.

James hated it.

Well—not hated. He didn’t get it. It was boring. Tedious. You had to wait for things to dry, measure solutions just right, mess around with temperature and lighting. It was the exact opposite of Quidditch, of flying, of movement.

But Remus liked it.

So James leaned against the doorway and watched him from time to time, arms crossed over his chest, sometimes sneaking sips from a bottle of pumpkin fizz he wasn’t technically supposed to have.

“You look like a vampire,” he said once, watching Remus adjust the developing tray under a dim red light.

Remus didn’t look up. “Because I’m so pale?”

“No,” James said. “Because you’re hunched over all secretive-like, and you live in the dark, and you smell like chemicals.”

“Romantic,” Remus murmured, smiling faintly as he pulled a photo from the solution with a pair of tongs.

James stepped closer.

It was a picture of the lake, taken early one morning. The sky was still pinkish with sunrise, and the water shimmered, still as glass. In the photograph, the ripples moved ever so slightly, disturbed by something beneath the surface. A soft breeze stirred the reeds on the edge.

“Didn’t know you were an artist,” James said.

“I’m not.” Remus hung it on a line to dry. “I just like... I like the way a moment gets to live longer, this way. You can see things you didn’t notice before.”

James was looking at him now instead of the photograph. “Yeah,” he said quietly. “I know what you mean.”

Remus glanced over and paused. James had that look again. The one where he tilted his head like he was thinking about saying something but wasn’t sure if it was smart to say it out loud.

So Remus beat him to it.

“Do you want to try?” he asked.

James blinked. “Photography?”

Remus nodded. “You don’t have to. I just thought maybe—”

“No, yeah,” James said quickly. “If you’ll show me. I want to try.”

The thing was—James was bad at it.

He didn’t take his time. He forgot to focus. He’d snap three shots in a row, one crooked, one blurry, one of his thumb. He got Developing Solution on his jumper and somehow managed to track photo paper through the castle because he forgot it stuck to your shoes.

But Remus didn’t care. Because James sat next to him on the floor while they waited for prints to dry. Because James would fall asleep against his shoulder some days after practice, mumbling things like “you smell like vinegar and books” into his neck. Because James kept showing up, even when he didn’t get it, even when he didn’t find it fun.

And then, one Saturday morning, Remus found a photograph tucked into his textbook.

It was crooked. Slightly too dark. But it was Remus, standing by the window, eyes squinted against the sunlight, biting the edge of his thumb without realizing. And in the moving photo, just barely—he smiled.

The caption on the back read, in James’ messy scrawl: the moment I knew.

James didn’t say anything when Remus found him at breakfast and slid into the seat next to him. He just looked up, hopeful. Quiet.

Remus leaned in, whispered in his ear, “I like still moments too, you know. Especially the ones with you in them.”

James flushed red all the way to his ears.

He never stopped being terrible at photography. But he became Remus’ favorite subject. And Remus’ favorite moment to remember was always the next one—because James was there. Even in the quiet. Even in the stillness. Especially then.

very rough and messy summary of the six the kids musical brainstorm first draft thing:

I think people liked the idea so here's the summary of what I came up with...

all of em – “Heavy Crown”

there is a sorta who lives who dies who tells your story vibe... it starts the musical i wanna establish that this musical is about succession and power.

OH!! this is how we connect the story. the crown drops cuz its heavy, it falls on ed, then mary, but it’s to heavy so at the end of their songs, the crown drops down, then finally liz. the crown falls on liz at the last part of her song (since her song starts w her as a child instead of crowned) and she puts the crown onto herself. (we're stopping there cuz of time concerns aka i got too lazy to read the wikipedia for what happens after liz)

//ah how do i… include the religious/political nuiances? //politics not my thing moment...

“Who will be next?” or “next in line” ig

just a small contextualising song (not even really a song). its giving that. "where will she strike next?" from wicked kinda vibe

henry dies! oh no! anyway…

establish liz and mary as illegitimate 

Edward VI – "King Before Dawn"

like a lullaby?? i was kinda thinking of bastille...? Idk but i guess i am also kinda going for the soft vibe yk. He's a bit inspired by rudolf from Elisabeth.

AURORA runaway, When the party's over, or

i feel like the climax would be like this waking moment for him? cuz all this time he’s been in a dream, but its not bc he doesn't want change, like he’s trying, but its like they’re forcing him to sleep or something. the original title was “sleep, little king”, so i mean… he's just a kid, so his wants and visions are only regardes as dreams

motif thing: i want the kids to like, learn from their mothers, and jane says "i hope my son will know he'll never be alone" and "my love is set in stone", so, i think… something like "in my dream, I'm not alone, love carries me on the throne, but then i wake and then it falls away"... I'm not using "heart of stone" cuz it goes against ed's airy dreamy vibe (yk.. cuz stone...)

"i close my eyes, so i could be, king for one more day"? "before dawn"?? i unno.

This would reflect Edward’s child-like ambitions and dreams of reform, but also his helplessness due to his age and the weight of expectations (i see him sorta like a puppet king, yk? cuz his reign is ran by council)

Thats why I imagine a dream-like setting. cuz during his rule he was “asleep”.

Lady Jane Grey - "Nine Days" (should we even include her)

ed: i need someone to take care of england like i wish i had (lists a bunch of characteristics as liz and mary kinda do this like.. comedic pushing each other and posing thing) it will be… Jane grey! (jane snuck onto the stage and the light suddenly shines on her and shes awkwardly standing there just: :) hiiii 

mary and liz: ??

Jane never wanted the crown but was executed so… it’s pretty tragic. but i want to give her a light number! to lighten the mood a bit!! Also because everyone else who git beheaded had a lit number haha we're keeping the trend!!

since she’s called the "Nine Days Queen", what if… her song is in a count down format? and it gets faster? Yes I took inspo from 10 rule commandments.

towards the end she screams "Have mercy upon me, O God"

“Third Succession Act”

or a next in line reprise... it's a lot darker tho. Mary and Liz ride in on. "horseback" and instantly you get this vibe like "o something is about to go down..."

i just want like chanting but it’s still a short interlude. 

there’s a darker turn to prep for mary’s song? i was thinking a bit of like the starting chant of "the plagues" from prince of egypt.

wikipedia says: “Mary rode triumphantly into London on 3 August, on a wave of popular support. She was accompanied by her half-sister Elizabeth and a procession of over 800 nobles and gentlemen.”

Mary: wonderful. take Jane out of here, please.

Mary I – “To ashes”

as in she will stand strong until she is ashes, but also burning the heretics to ashes.

when i first started my mind went: LADY GAGA!! but i actually... want her to have a much more serious and solemn kinda vibe, so...

its like… p heavy and intense in terms of beat like im imagining some iron clanging but also seriously good choir.  dark, dramatic, grand... im thinking a lot about like... olim from the hunchback of notredame (the disney musical one).

I pull out a dark edit audios playlist... nah, but ummm Everybody Wants to Rule the World (Lorde Cover), You Should See Me in a Crown, Castle by Halsey? but with heavy choir backing...? Or like The Seed by AURORA? or a few of the Soap&Skin songs.

other titles ive considered are: “By My Own Hand/ For Her Own Good” (her refering to england). yk i want her song to be more from her perspective, to show her motivation instead of just "bro's a serious arsonist".

motif thing: i will make my way (instead of no no no no no no no way)

i don’t know i just think it suits her

bloody mary frfr she gon be big scary lady muahahaha

“Heavy crown reprise”

A transition number showing Mary’s downfall, and the crown slipping again. Could be a ghostly echo of the opening song; mary is up bathed in red light and then thud! the light turns like this light and beige in a small jail bar square shape onto liz who is kneeling in white (getting out from imprisonment and starting small)

Elizabeth I – "For good(? glory??), Alone"

get it? the song name is like “for good alone” but also “for good, (i am) alone”

her inspo was originally kate bush, Chappell Roan, and marina. However, after doodling her I wanted to give her a much more reserved personality. I imagine liz with this mixture of ham burr and ham eliza where she is quiet until she is sure. I know a lot of people give her a much more light and loud personality but idk if i see that...

i feel like it starts small then slowly builds to become grand or something. I guess I kinda take Aurora as a reference for her...?

towards the end of the song, in the background i wanna add a choir going “gloriana”

could have a speaking segment (like in teach them how to say goodbye) cuz she got some pretty fire quotes

Motif thing: "Just not to lose my head"

from Anne Boleyn’s "Don’t Lose Your Head," representing like… a constant balancing act of power, survival, and public image; taking charge without falling into the traps her mother did.

keeping her head (literally and metaphorically) could also tie into the calculated patience???

touch on how she carefully navigated political waters and worked to build England's glory, all while dealing with personal and political challenges that could have caused her downfall at any moment

quotes to use? I will have no master; i saw and i kept silent

Closing? like… something like.. like “Still she remains”

I was gonna end with liz so the first ideas were “Gloriana”, "No King But Me”, “Still I Stand". But then six ends with all queens, so I'm prolly gonna do that (not really including jane, tho); see i would say “England remains” but yk… ireland was there too, so…

“A throne of my own” would be cool, but i want this to end outwards, as in this was the past, but now look at the present and future.

“still she remains” could start with referring to liz, then to england (and ireland).

The last lines could hint that even Elizabeth’s reign will pass, and England will continue, liz holds out the crown and the lights narrow on the crown, not on any one person.

liz drops the crown down (as how it had dropped on ed, then to mary, then to liz). Her legacy. what is a legacy? It's dropping crowns for queens who you don't get to meet-- /j

//idk are these all to heavy? probably. where’s my pop girlies :( //i don't know if anyone would get me if i said... they're burn blister and blaze coded...

I hope this was fun :P

[blackjackkent]

Mistyped "git commit" as "bit commit" in my work command line just now and am finding this way funnier than it has any right to be.

[sexhaver]

okay at this point im beyond being annoyed at incurious idiots who refuse to google basic word definitions and make that everyone else's problem and have moved on to being concerned. not for these people directly, obviously, they can choke, but why are there more and more of them every day? is it something with microplastics? literally every single thing this person is complaining about being ungoogleable (git, cli, command line, foss) has its definition as the first google result for just. typing that word into the search bar. like you typed it into the comment box. i feel like im going insane

[moose-mousse]

FINALLY got done with the Beginners guide to GIT

So a long time ago I made a poll to help me make a Begginers guide to GIT because a lot of people seem to have trouble with it. https://www.tumblr.com/moose-mousse/722172571753365504/going-to-make-a-getting-started-with-git-post?source=share

And I know for a fact that my University taught it horribly. (Or rather... did not teach it at all)

I REALLY tried making this guide as short as I possibly could. Explaining only what you need to know, while trying to clarify what most people find confusing. But it still is too long for a single post. So, I have split it into 5. The post each links to each other, so you should be able to go back and forth easily.

This guide is going to be pure GIT done via the command line. 2 reasons for this:

1: GIT GUI’s are really handy, but they abstracts away a lot of the newbie help GIT is trying to give you. Bitbucket, Github, Jira, and other services use GIT but usually add extra bits that are specific to them. So to know how they are different, it is smartest to learn pure GIT first. And since they are 99% GIT, you will be able to use them with no/little trouble.

2: Because I use the command line, it is easy to build your own automation tools. Simply have a program write git commands to the shell and/or read outputs from git commands and use them to visualize whatever you want, however you want. That way you can have whatever shiney graphics your heart can code up. All the tools you can find (Like Github desktop or gitk) are simply doing this. (incidentally, if any of you make a pretty visualization of GIT? Show me! I wanna see a dog themed GIT graph! I wanna see pink log outputs! Make it yours!)

Your All-in-One AI Web Agent: Save $200+ a Month, Unleash Limitless Possibilities!

Imagine having an AI agent that costs you nothing monthly, runs directly on your computer, and is unrestricted in its capabilities. OpenAI Operator charges up to $200/month for limited API calls and restricts access to many tasks like visiting thousands of websites. With DeepSeek-R1 and Browser-Use, you:

• Save money while keeping everything local and private.

• Automate visiting 100,000+ websites, gathering data, filling forms, and navigating like a human.

• Gain total freedom to explore, scrape, and interact with the web like never before.

You may have heard about Operator from Open AI that runs on their computer in some cloud with you passing on private information to their AI to so anything useful. AND you pay for the gift . It is not paranoid to not want you passwords and logins and personal details to be shared. OpenAI of course charges a substantial amount of money for something that will limit exactly what sites you can visit, like YouTube for example. With this method you will start telling an AI exactly what you want it to do, in plain language, and watching it navigate the web, gather information, and make decisions—all without writing a single line of code.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to build an AI agent that performs tasks like scraping news, analyzing social media mentions, and making predictions using DeepSeek-R1 and Browser-Use, but instead of writing a Python script, you’ll interact with the AI directly using prompts.

These instructions are in constant revisions as DeepSeek R1 is days old. Browser Use has been a standard for quite a while. This method can be for people who are new to AI and programming. It may seem technical at first, but by the end of this guide, you’ll feel confident using your AI agent to perform a variety of tasks, all by talking to it. how, if you look at these instructions and it seems to overwhelming, wait, we will have a single download app soon. It is in testing now.

This is version 3.0 of these instructions January 26th, 2025.

This guide will walk you through setting up DeepSeek-R1 8B (4-bit) and Browser-Use Web UI, ensuring even the most novice users succeed.

What You’ll Achieve

By following this guide, you’ll:

1. Set up DeepSeek-R1, a reasoning AI that works privately on your computer.

2. Configure Browser-Use Web UI, a tool to automate web scraping, form-filling, and real-time interaction.

3. Create an AI agent capable of finding stock news, gathering Reddit mentions, and predicting stock trends—all while operating without cloud restrictions.

A Deep Dive At ReadMultiplex.com Soon

We will have a deep dive into how you can use this platform for very advanced AI use cases that few have thought of let alone seen before. Join us at ReadMultiplex.com and become a member that not only sees the future earlier but also with particle and pragmatic ways to profit from the future.

I think you guys know what time it isssss…YAPP TIME‼️‼️‼️

I wanted to wait a bit longer than a week because it felt too soon but I also didn’t want to wait a whole month

-Sigma Anon

Dear Sigma Anon, you don't have to wait so long between Yapp Time ^^ It's okay to talk with us!

Anyway, I don't really know what to talk about, if I'm being honest, haha! But Moongleam made me a little wheel that helped me choose ≽^•⩊•^≼

So by the power of Spin The Wheel, I shall talk about another funky AU her and I have! It is also based off of an older Disney movie, like the Treasure Planet AU, What Waits For Me, but this AU is based off of Atlantis - The lost empire!

First of all, shame on Disney for not pushing its marketing more, and "being afraid" that because it's so much more different than their other movies, it's not good, or something, I dunno, I'm just rambling

So TSAMS Atlantis AU (Moongleam version, funnily enough) was chosen by the wheel, so, for those who haven't seen Atlantis - The lost empire yet, spoiler warnings and please go watch it

So, setting is the USA in 1914, and Eclipse and Solar work at a museum as a linguist and cartographer respectively. They want to get funds by the museum to go on an expedition to discover Atlantis, a mythical lost city, but fail miserably so. So, they do what anyone in their situation would do, and just say F U to everything. That night they meet eccentric millionare Golden Freddy, who is a great friend of their uncle, Ruin, and offers to fund the expedition, persuading the twins to join said expedition, and gives the two eclipse models a book called the Shepherd's Journal, which contains not only the history of, but a path to Atlantis. The twins obviously try to pretend to not be excited as they prepare for the expedition, which lead by Commander Sven Ivanov, or as he likes to be called, Commander The Creator, and includes the Commander's second-in-command Lieutenat Felix Sinclair (the last name is taken from the movie, it is not Trashcan Man/Felix's canonical last name), demolition expert and geologist Ruin, medical officer and mess cook Sun (who is the twin's older brother), with Solar taking the position of head mechanic, and Eclipse being the radio operator, which he's very enthusiastic about (lie)

Emergency Moongleam takeover, because Sunray got sick during the writing of this, and that's somewhat my fault. He'll either finish his yappin in the comments, or just edit this thing. Sunray both asks for, and sends all the virtual cat hugs if they don't survive /jk

So uhhh... This week was shit

I lost a bunch of sleep this week cuz of different scheduling, like I had a national competition on monday which if I succeed at getting at least 60% at, I'll pass one of my exams. So I obviously study for it yeah? As does everyone else. Problem is, all the questions were bullshit. Like we got asked something along the lines of (this is a translation): The maker of Git chose that word for it because of a british slang word that reflects his personality. Who was he and why did he make Git?

Now for those lucky people not studying anythin relatin to IT, you may wonder what the fuck is a Git. Well it is a version controller, which helps multiple people work on the same project without losing any of the previous versions.

Now you may wonder, what in the hell is this question doing in a software development related quiz thing? The answer should be nothing! But it was full of shit like that! With barely any software development relating stuff! We had more networking than software developing!

So I got over that, and I probs failed it, haha. After that, on Tuesday, which is usually online for me, we had to go in for a math test because the school wanted us to decide if we want to take the advance or the normal math exam at the end of it all, when everyone fucking knows what they want by this point. And whoever made that test woke up hating all of humanity, because they made one of the sneakiest, suckiest, pettiest and spiteful tests known to mankind. I already suck at math T_T

Wednsday went normally, aside from photos having to be made which I look absolutely hideous on, and this is with me not actually hating my appearance, and then Thursday came. Blasted, blasted Thursday.

I'm online during Thursdays too, which is perfectly fine by me. More sleep to me because I don't have to get up at the ass crack of dawn. Only, while I'm sitting in online classes, one of my girlies, who was also online, writes to me, asking me if I know about the bomb threats.

So uhh, schools were threatened with bombs in my country 👍 Everyone was sent home, and the suckers will have to make up for the day by going in on Saturday or something. I'm fine on that front, just a bit shooketh cuz nothin like that happened in my lifetime before. I don't actually know if anything has been found in any school though, ours is clear.

But on a lighter note, the reason why I had to take over for Sunray: So I bought a couple of those funky instant noodles from a newly opened asian store, cuz I'm a sucker for them and so is Sunray, and I made the first one back on Wednsday. It was fine, we did our usual ritual that we do with it by sharing.

I made the second one today, and let me tell you, that shit was foul. The seasoning was fine, nothin groundbreaking but the average for these kinds of stuff, but the pasta of it was weird.

You know how these things usually come in a rectangle shape and have a specific noodle for it? Well this one didn't! It looked like the love child of angel hairs and spaghetti! This was kinda funky at first, though it should have been the first sign.

Then when I was making it, It's stench just started permaneting in the air. Like that's all I could smell from it. Sunray could smell the spices, but I couldn't, and it did not get any better when I left the pasta to soften. That was the second strike.

So I start eating, and no matter how long I waited it did not soften fully, and we was in the middle of writing this when I proposed we eat dinner, so we wanted to get back to stuff. Well, I couldn't taste anything but the pasta.

I got about halfway when I couldn't take anymore of it, and passed the rest off to Sunray. Now I'm used to shitty digestion, because I don't treat my stomach well, but Sunray isn't. So he basically immediately had a visceral reaction to it, and almost threw up. Now he's sulking in the bed

But the worst part is! The worst part is I couldn't find the time, energy and motivation to write! :(

So now I need to put my wrist murdering tendencies to good use. Who cares about that anyway? /jk

I'm also feeling sick from the soup :D

Roast Show Reprive. AKA "Who gave Jane a microphone?"

Cw: mentions of animal trafficking. (Lucas' platoon rescued a cat)

Summary: with spare time on their hands,the soldiers of Alpha Foxtrot decide to do something to make the troops laugh. With their dearest Jane at the helm.

Ocs mentioned: Ayzee ( @gizm0-gadgetz ) Noa and Rick ( @graceandtheidiotsquad )

There in the Jungle there was little to do. When they werent training,the soldiers would be fucking about in the canteen or the muck, betting ill gotten goods or working out. So the troops decided to do something, put on a comedy show.

The air had been grim lately,stress and boredom mixing together with patriotism and fear of survival. In a desire to be nice,Captain Alphonso Wheeler pulled some strings to have Head Nurse Jane Zhao at the helm of the show.

And what a mistake.

--C'mon boy,The show's about to start-- Alphonso put a hand on the shoulder of his lieutenant Lucas Cole,The radioman, who was currently fixing a radio.

--Five more minutes-- the other Man mumbled,like a child who wants to Keep sleeping. He had a white cat on his lap,purring up a storm.

The sweet kitten had bed rescued by the squad not too long ago. It was common to pick up strays,to save them from trafficking or companion animals for the soldiers.

--What are you,five?--The older Man insisted with a teasing yet lighthearted voice.-- C'mon,git ' off yer ass...-- he began walking away-- And bring commander fluffball witcha.

Knowing his friend wasnt taking "No" for an answer,he Drops his tools. Dedjectedly and quite huffy, he scoops up the purring feline and falls in line with his captain. --C'mon fluffy-- he murmured-- We're about to see comedy..

The canteen had been Turned into a small stage area. Troops Ate and mingled, the medical staff was fluttering about with the intention of being friendly,which was a first given how busy they usually are.

"The Hounds" as Alphonso's troop was nicknamed, had front row seats to the stage made of wooden crates And canteen tables. Speakers set up with a microphone stand. The murmuring of the crowd grows silent as head nurse Jane Zhao gets up on the stage and takes the microphone.

Something tells Lucas this is either the worst or best,idea Wheeler ever had.

--This thing on? Good-- Jane said. She was a small woman,but also a no-nonsense one. You could feel her step into a room,her presence was unmatched. She stood with her usual nurse outfit,never free enough to change,and her eyes have this deeply mischevious and excited glint to them-- And..are we all here?

The crowd cheered.

--Great. Then lets begin-- Jane took the microphone and began to slowly pace across the stage-- I know theres little to do here,in bumfuck nowhere-- some people snicker-- So its good to organize these things. Lord knows the higher Ups dont give two shits.

--Amen!--Alphonso says from his spot,some other soldiers agree with him.

-- I dont seem like the type,but im quite good at comedy-- She answered-- Roast comedy.

The crowd groans,others cheer excitedly. So this was it. Not a comedy show,but a roasting one. Nobody was more perfect for the role than the head nurse,who had embarassing story after embarassing story to tell. Nobody was coming out unscathed.

--Yeah,yeah,dont bitch about it -- she snickered-- Its either this or drills, choose one-- upon the silence of the crowd she says-- yes,thats what I thought.

--Man,the hell did you do?--Lucas asked,leaning over to his friend and mentor figure.

With the slow realization settling in,the sense of deep dread sinking down his chest, wheelers eyes widen with an embarassment that bordered on fear-- A mistake.

Jane waves off the complaining of the troops and stands by a Group of nurses sitting. They see Ayzee,a butch woman of short hair and defined muscles,looking up at her boss.

--Us nurses have a hard time going around with all the people here. Doesnt help we're running thin every day. -- she began-- A lot of the times, we're literally going by "Slap a bandaid on it and go". --She smirked-- And then theres Miss Winters over here,who had patched a bullet wound mid shooting with gauze and tape and sent the platoon on their way. Truly,amazing.

The crowd laughed,some clapped and Ayzee flipped her off with a tiny smirk. Jane then began to turn towards The Hounds,walking at a slow pace like a predator.

-- And "Slap on a band aid" isnt the only metaphor we go by. -- She continued,the attention of the room on her. Hanging on her every word-- Ever wondered where "Shoot yourself in the foot" comes from? I do. And im happy to say ive finally found the origin.

She stopped infront of The Hounds and looked down at the very young cadet wit a white cat on his lap. She smiles,and adds.

--Lucas Cole everyone!-- the troops explode in laughter,Lucas feels his face warm up. He also heckles at her,making her chuckle-- I still remember treating his dumb ass..

-- Give the kid a break!--Rick laughed, his blonde hair getting in the way of his sight. Seemingly fresh out of the shower.

--And that leads me right into "things you dont want to hear"-- She gestured at the blonde-- Here in the canteen we all get our food,unless you sneak in food like somebody I know-- she sneaks a glance to Alphonso-- Theres a reason Rick Hayes isnt allowed in kitchen duty. The phrase "Duck and Cover" shouldnt belong in a kitchen!-- laughter filled the room,Lucas even pushed Rick,who pushed him right back. -- It shouldnt! -- Jane insisted

The head nurse smiled,standing there with a kid like mischevious stance.

--Seriously! This guy should be in the demolitions squad!--She laughed. The crowd chuckles-- But hes here,with The Hounds,the best of our platoon. And I have to thank Noa for being the "Idiot Wrangler" of the Group. Saves me work-- She shrugged-- Though at this point she should go into the nanny bussiness. Hes got war time experience on the matter.

Noa laughed,alongside some of the other soldiers. -- I just might with your kids!

A round of "oooooh~!" Comes from the crowd. Jane laughed and waved him off-- Good one,Malie--she snickered-- And last but certainly not least, the captain Alphonso Wheeler. An invaluable veteran,who should be on his way to the retirement home by now.

More laughter and whistling fills the air,swelling like a tide. Alphonso laughed and yelled-- youre older than me! You bitch

The nurse cackled and said-- 'M taking you with me, asshole!

Continuing the show,the woman moved on to other grups. She jabbed and teased towards some of the other soldiers,couples of cadets and Nurses who werent as sneaky as they thought they'd be.

By the end,the air feels lighter,Jane exchanged a couple of words and returned to work. No time to waste, as always.

Yet by the end of the day,When she returns to her office (A tent) she couldnt help but wonder of her radio finally got fixed by the engieneers. She works better with music.

Upon her desk She finds a fresh cup of black coffee and chocolate. She chuckled and held the treat in her hands, seeing an "-A.W" written on the back. Thats Alphonso's way of saying "Try and talk shit about my contraband now"

And her radio,fixed, has a little note taped on the front. Written in green pen. "Thanks for making today lighter. PS. The commander helped -L.C"

Jane smiled,her eyes prickling with tears. She sits and enjoys the gifts she was given. She felt very lucky,despite all the stress, to be in this platoon. She was surrounded by Friends.
