Multiplying a variable by 17

set myVariable [expr { $myVariable * 17 }] This shows how you can use a simple expression to update a variable. The expr command does not update the variable for you; you need to take its result and write it to the variable with set. Note that newlines are not important in the little language un...

Symbolic ref names: branches, tags, remote-tracking branches

$ git log master # specify branch $ git show v1.0 # specify tag $ git show HEAD # specify current branch $ git show origin # specify default remote-tracking branch for remote 'origin' You can specify revision using a symbolic ref name, which includes branches (for example 'master'...

The default revision: HEAD

$ git show # equivalent to 'git show HEAD' 'HEAD' names the commit on which you based the changes in the working tree, and is usually the symbolic name for the current branch. Many (but not all) commands that take revision parameter defaults to 'HEAD' if it is missing.

Reflog references: @{}

$ git show @{1} # uses reflog for current branch $ git show master@{1} # uses reflog for branch 'master' $ git show HEAD@{1} # uses 'HEAD' reflog A ref, usually a branch or HEAD, followed by the suffix @ with an ordinal specification enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. {1}, {1...

Reflog references: @{}

$ git show master@{yesterday} $ git show HEAD@{5 minutes ago} # or HEAD@{5.minutes.ago} A ref followed by the suffix @ with a date specification enclosed in a brace pair (e.g. {yesterday}, {1 month 2 weeks 3 days 1 hour 1 second ago} or {1979-02-26 18:30:00}) specifies the value of the ref at ...

Commit ancestry chain: ^, ~, etc.

Dereferencing branches and tags: ^0, ^{}

In some cases the behavior of a command depends on whether it is given branch name, tag name, or an arbitrary revision. You can use "de-referencing" syntax if you need the latter. A suffix ^ followed by an object type name (tag, commit, tree, blob) enclosed in brace pair (for example v0.9...

Introduction to type-level programming

If we consider a heterogenous list, wherein the elements of the list have varied but known types, it might be desirable to be able to perform operations on the elements of the list collectively without discarding the elements' type information. The following example implements a mapping operation ov...
