One idea is to use $ as prefix.
It probably connotes "command" among Unix-y folks, at least.
(Although I've seen $ used as a prefix in e.g. combinator libraries

Once upon a time I forked a repo, committed against master, and
couldn't figure out how to "re-sync" with upstream. I resorted to
deleting the fork and starting over. I wanted a sure-fire recipe to

Although I know a bit more about git now, I still follow that recipe.

Elisp. But. I feel it's probabl
