Developer Note: 2026 Jan 22

Listening to the robot too hard.

Cutting and pasting. they tell you not to do it… but sometimes we do it anyway.

Today i was trying to get us (re) launched on our rad hosting provider (we’ll see if they wan the credit and maybe edit this into a link later)

We’ve found ourselves debugging with chatgpt and that leaves us with a lot of cut and paste commands. whoops.

The tool has a route to import all git data as a first step for data initialization, and needs the user to have already provided a .git folder in the user supplied directory… docker mounts that, it’s tedious & working…

But we only imported one commit. what the f?

Well, it turns out we copied our repo for analysis too shallow. Much like our analysis of the code we copy pasted. Oh well.. keep moving.

Now that we’ve found the bug, we’re fixing it & reimporting…

match (a:ImportStatus) set a.git_import_complete = false allows us to reimport. the existing nodes may be merged, or it might break.

So that was an interesting bugfix. Thanks robots.
