Shameless plug for an essay [0] I wrote a while back comparing looms and computers (which also has some of the best other videos I could find on looms, for those who want to learn more about them specifically). Wish I had seen this video back then, thanks for sharing! I find this comparison so fascinating to contemplate.
I have a script [0] that almost does this, but currently only downloads forks. Could easily be modified to work on all types of repos. Maybe one day I'll get around to doing that myself, hopefully before any spurious lockouts... but then again I usually create the repo locally first and push to GH later, so I should have all my repos already.
Also this only does the initial cloning, I still need to implement pulling down new commits.
But, the majority of the boilerplate is taken care of, like for authenticating to their API.
Computing generalist with special interests in numerics/simulation, mobile, healthcare and developer tools. I sweat UX/DX details. 7 years in industry post-grad, the last two of which have been 100% remote, and over 20 years since writing my first program. Always looking for something new!

Author here, you're absolutely right. When I wrote this, I was thinking of some of the more obvious tricks like the alternate semicolon, parens or curlies. I'm gonna edit the article to qualify that, and add a note about maybe using a SwiftLint exclusion rule containing all these unicode characters.
