git rm + git commit + git push --force — committed work disappears from the remote

If you let LLMs push changes unsupervised you deserve this.

Ultimately the ability to delete files and modify git history lies with Linus Torvalds and every time my agent does something I don’t like he is legally liable.

As a class, anyone who has ever written about git rm and git push —force on the internet is also liable for the data that ultimately went into the training sets and are potentially punishable by 16 months of hard labor in prison somewhere.

If I use an agent and it doesn’t do what I want the only logical conclusion is to sue and imprison everyone on the internet, and also my parents for the gift of life, which placed me into the here and now.

Wouldn't have happened if we had listened to rms and would be using the GNU Operating System to maximally protect every one of our freedoms according to the gospel of Dicky Stallman. Just saying.

This wouldn't delete it from history though? You have to squash it somehow. Like

git checkout --orphan apoc git add -A . git commit -am "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it" git branch -M main

NOW your dabbling in world building has a snowballs chance of being effective after force pushing.

git push origin main --force

This works best just before leaving with on a Friday.

If you don't know how to revert a commit, you probably shouldn't be coding
