Dotfiles Memes

You know you've crossed into dangerous territory when Buzz Lightyear's "to infinity and beyond" energy applies to your git repositories. That moment when you realize you've been so enthusiastic about version control that you've accidentally turned your entire filesystem into a nested git hellscape. Config files? Tracked. Random notes? Tracked. API keys and database passwords? Oh yeah, those are definitely tracked and probably already pushed to a public repo. The real kicker is when you discover you've got .git folders inside .git folders, and your .gitignore is screaming for help but nobody's listening. Pro tip: if you're frantically Googling "how to remove secrets from git history" at any point in your career, you're living this meme. And yes, BFG Repo-Cleaner is now your best friend, right after you finish having that panic attack.
