Notes

Will was not lying.

• Graphical tools: "What you see is what you get" (WYSWYG)
• # -> on UK Mac keyboards: option + 3
• Filenames on Mac + Windows are case insensitive
• ISSUE: On UCL computers where the drives are mounted network drives, various git commands do not work: git config etc.
  • Workaround: use git config --global -e and edit the file manually (but it'll use vim to begin with as the default editor)
