<p>not to mention that "the outlook failure" seems to have been a layer 8 problem?<p>(think i picked up some line about not being aware how to use it in offline mode / calling this out as an "error" while it was the expected configuration at the time)<p>and the toilet problem being as banal as "well, you need to wait for the green ready light to turn on..."

<p>from looking at the raw requests, that cant seem right?<p>its all "cache_control": { "type": "ephemeral" }
there is no "ttl" anywhere.<p>// edit: cc_version=2.1.104.f27</p>

<p>without an airport near "my current location" is my goto.  
is there a direct link for this? (otherwise i may hack together some userscript that clicks that button for me...)<p>"my assumption" would have been some x/y/angle/zoom params on the url, maybe even with some of the settings encoded in... (autorotate, render-radius or terrain height would be first to come to mind)<p>my "not getting any tiles" must have been 2 or 3 days ago - and from the last time i had to mess with tiles i do remember that to be fairly ugly in regards to performance/scaling so i feel you ;)<p>also addon after trying the "direct link to an airport":
- this still loads at the random-US-airport first. with some tweaking there is likely an entire tilefetch you can save^<p>thx!</p>

<p>had it bookmarked since the last share, but had noted the world-tiles would regularly not load, seems okay (and with colors?) now,  
but maybe that could need some low-detail fallback when arcgisonline servers are busting? - some 16k image to fill all the black void?<p>also "copy this view" does nothing (neither location nor any settings, gives just the bare link)</p>

<p>i find a "import pages" but no "export ALL pages"?  
(i did see the "one-by-one option", but how about two trees?)<p>"closing the sidebar" seems to grant access to another menu that is not accessible elsewhere?  
(appears to be of the actual canvas? has "export as svg" options like the context-menu, but also has "redo & revert" for example)<p>also appears there is a bit of an a "dynamic pen" (similar to excalidraw´s thickness?) - this could be a bit more pronounced i think  
or/and maybe needs some smoothing (see <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44915897">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44915897</a> and some of the other demos linked in there)<p>a onbeforeunload (or whatever the current go to) to "warn before closing the tab" would be neat too  
(possibly gated behind Incognito-Mode detection - or only triggerd if the user himself did a import at the beginning or such?...)<p>very neat tho</p>

<p>I´m mostly thinking in a "tell fetch-file that github.com/mine/scripts.git is already cloned to ~/devstuff/scripts/ fashion" - to then "skip the clone and use my provided folder instead of cloning into CACHE_DIR"<p>what shines combined with a push-subcommand when doing "active development" in the downstream repo - since it can shove the fix you made back into the upstream so you can commit and release it there<p>("push" may then also have a --with-commit option that 1) makes a commit in the local upstream 2) updates downstreams `.git-remote-files` commit-key)<p>on --no-commit idk... while i very much like the idea of it being able to auto-commit, default-enabled might be a little overreaching but not 100% certain on this... - maybe your `--commit <commit>` could become `--ref <ref>` instead to free up --(no-)commit? (ref might even be more git-nomenclature correct ;))<p>readme: no thanks, just on a throwaway anyhow ;)</p>

<p>for --dry-run that looks pretty good yeps! I like the "--force hint" in there too!<p>for the "push", I think my idea was mostly about "local-remotes", think "I have both cloned locally, with both IDEs open going back&forth"<p>one injection there would be `../someupstream/file` vs. `../someupstream/.git/refs/HEAD:file`...   
aka "pick the file as is" (potentially marked as "${HEAD}-dirty" vs. "only committed things are truth" (and if just so one doesn't need a extra `cp` command ;))<p>`just placed in the directory for you to do as you please.` could open a "--auto-commit" option -> based on a template similar to the dry run? (ideally overridable in .git-remote-files)</p>

<p>been wanting to build something very similar, so sharing some notes (before actually getting to test it):<p>--dry-run<p>a "push" subcommand?  
(especially in combination with 'overwrite to local repository-path" mentioned below, for remotes rater useless sure ;))<p>also your readme leaves "kinda open" what happens with the actual file(s),  
`.git-remote-files` is mentioned "should be committed", but the file it cloned?<p>also a little unclear how `--save` plays into that (since the .git-remote-files example shows only a commit no branch)  
(and when would one ever run it without save?)<p>cli-arg/secondary `.git-remote-files`-File  
(possibly as secondary `.local.git-remote-files` or such that can also override repository-URLs)  
for local/private repos?<p>option (autodetect?) to also write gitattributes to mark those picked files binary  
(what may also be done into the repo, or local-only into the .git/ dir of the repo...)<p>since its called `git-fetch-file` and not `.git-remote-files` a overall comment may be nice as refence when first generating the file ;)<p>but by now i´m just rambling, looking forward to actually try it when home ;)
thanks in advance</p>
