I've switched over to using `sl` commands. Sapling is installed on ODs by default. Main change I had to get used to was `up(date)` became `goto`.

I assume this is a different sl than https://man.cx/sl(6)

While the real sl (Steam Locomotive) isn't installed on that many systems, I can only imagine the annoyance that it must bring to any former Facebook engineers when they assume that it's the version control

I wonder how many typoed invocations of ls correspond to sl commands. Like if you have an update directory.

Although now that I think about it, if hg had displayed a steam locomotive, maybe people wouldn't have noticed how slow it was...

I don't want to learn a 3rd thing that isn't git!
