Important

If you're reading this, you probably have push access to this repo. Please do me a favor and don't use it. It won't be destructive, but it may be annoying.

Discarding Changes

If you make unintended changes to this vault:

cd zmVault
git reset --hard
git pull origin main

Apparently this doesn't work. The most straightforward solution is to delete the folder and re-clone.
