I should just push this code and assume it's fine.@vwbusguy well I *am* a fool! But also, I figured out what wasn't working (and it was because I am a fool...and also because GitHub and GitLab have made different choices about their APIs)

what are some problems you've run into in the terminal with folders? so far I have:@b0rk does this count?
