I just did this:
rm TEST/ * instead of
rm TEST/*

and spent a long minute staring at my terminal, having just nuked the contents of my working directory.
I'm sure there's lots of benefits to open-sourcing your stuff, but the big one for me right now, was that I was able to get things back again.

You don't gotta make it open-source to run git.

I use it for everything I can. Config files, private text documents, MUD maps… everything I can put into source control goes into source control.

I don’t know what it is, I just love git.
