Discussed Topics

Ian's PR for exit_code.

Lots of conversation about capturing errors for each element of the pipeline. Maybe leave it like it is and just make it default to false when not set.

Plan is to wait a day or 2 to get more feedback but fix the try bug. And to update the release notes to draw people's attention to what to do if you don't want these errors show.

ndots

ndots functionality for go ./.... Current thinking is to special case the ./... and if it begins with ./ pass it through as a string without expanding. otherwise, for things like ls .../<tab> expansion would happen.

options

• remove ndots entirely
• leave what we have now
• special case ./... <– leaning toward this option
• use extern

mime-types
