blat

Protip: Do it from a VM if you can, then roll back/blat the VM.

You can't create an "easy to use" function if you name it foo and you name your variables a, b, c and d or blat or faz or whatever." Which is just about as concise as you can get.

The approach I described is how you "blat and reclone" using git instead of the filesystem, and it has the clear advantage of keeping everything in the same repo. You can then mix all the code together in whatever way you prefer.

It's pretty easy to get lazy and blat out the whole window every time, when you know the GPU can handle the pixel bandwidth, and things like imgui explicitly make this tradeoff to keep logic simple.

It should be unlikely you need that force because the first step was to branch everything as is, so it is safer to just use `-d`, but if the intention is to "blat" it from orbit anyway, `-D` is that.

Frankly in my experience all the developer needed was some way to blat structured data onto disk, and they reached for SQLite because it was familiar rather than because they'd carefully considered their options. > A huge advantage is backing up and restoring from backup with sqlite is trivially implemented with scp in a bash script.
