π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
git annex vcycle

πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ

for example β say your view is by year/author/tag. run vcycle and it switches to author/tag/year β¨ boom. new layout, same data, whole new way to look at it. iconic.
π‘ lowkey important: this only does anything interesting when your view is nested. flat views? not the moment for vcycle, bestie.
