It's kind of insane to that in 2022 were still dealing with "save early, save often."
Our tools are so antiquated. Storage is cheap and computers are fast, every keystroke should be persisted somewhere I can recover from rather than having to manually save and commit works in progress.

Took me a while to realize this is derived from the word duraBILITY. At first I thought this was a russian word being used...
Git has a built-in Ctrl-Z that is called “reflog”. Acknowledging that git’s UI commands such as “reflog” may be technical, and nonstandard, and poorly named, does dura provide something that git doesn’t, and is it a good idea to add yet another application/layer/dependency to the git workflow? Would it be just as effective to add a git alias called “undo”, or something like that?
Seems like a nice tool, but if you really used git, I don't really see how this situation described at the readme.md could happen :-) you think you just lost days of work
That really doesn't mean anything.

Start working on a big and complicated refactoring, don't commit because everything's broken and in flux, run the wrong command and lose your changes-in-flight somehow (reset the working copy, revert a file, overwrite a file incorrectly, ...).
