// One of my new favorite React Hook patternms is to create handler
// functions for a custom hook using `React.useMemo` instead of
// `React.useCallback`, like so:

function useBool(initialState = false) {
  const [state, setState] = React.useState(initialState)
  
  // Instead of individual React.useCallbacks gathered into an object
  // Let's memoize the whole object. Then, we can destructure the
  // methods we need in our consuming component.

The Ultimate Git Alias Setup

If you use git on the command-line, you'll eventually find yourself wanting aliases for your most commonly-used commands. It's incredibly useful to be able to explore your repos with only a few keystrokes that eventually get hardcoded into muscle memory.

Some people don't add aliases because they don't want to have to adjust to not having them on a remote server. Personally, I find that having aliases doesn't mean I that forget the underlying commands, and aliases provide such a massive improvement to my workflow that it would be crazy not to have them.

The simplest way to add an alias for a specific git command is to use a standard bash alias.
