Setup

• fork https://github.com/diracdeltas/tweets

git reset --hard d10b092
git push -f origin main

git commit -m --allow-empty
git push

• to follow someone:

git remote add <git name> <their fork of diracdelta's repo>
git fetch <git name>

• to follow everybody using GitHub: make everybody

• to repeat someone else's utterance:

git cherry-pick -x <their commit hash>

• people to follow

• to get verified (GitHub-only):

1. follow github's own verification instructions and make your commit email match your GPG key email
2. git commit -S -m "your post" --allow-empty from now on
