Hey there, Shabombeenac.

Hey there, Shabomomaniacs. You're listening to another episode of the Shop Talk Show. I'm Dave in the Shed Ripper.

With me is Chris in the basement.

Coyer. Hey, Chris, how are you doing?

That's right. I'm switching things up here.

No, just on a little trip. I've had a lovely little trip. I went and do, remember last year I went to the Alaska Folk Festival.

I did that again this year.

Just had a tremendous time. A little of my soul in Alaska every time I visit, I think. And then a two-legged trip because I'm in Wisconsin here visiting family. So the basement is a Wisconsin subterranean special. And then that's where we are out. And we have a special guest on the show that I can't wait to talk to because I already know who it is because I talked to him on his podcast about maintainable software and it was awesome.

but I feel like it's unavoidable. The reason that you're in Dave's Terminal Shell is because

you are the public face and creator of, oh, my, Z-S-H, which probably a ton of people have that listen to this show.

Maybe they don't even, I mean, you'd think that they would know, but here's a hard-hitting question for you, Robbie.

I have it installed and use it, and I don't know why.

Someone told you to install it, probably.

Yeah, is that why?

Were you following like a blog post at some point or maybe you're at a conference and someone

was giving a talk and you're like, how do I get my Git branch to show up in my...

Is that what it does?

Is that the thing?

That's why I have my Git branch in the thing?

I'm sorry, I'm so ignorant.

I'm really an idiot. That's why I have that there. That was probably the, you were probably learning Git and like, oh, this is cool. How do I make that happen? Which is one of the reasons why I was created in the first place was because Git was kind of a new thing. And the idea of having local branches was a new concept,
