Wasted 15+ minutes because of Microsoft's Terminal.
Terminal supports tabs, but while tabs keep their names after close/reopen, they lose their current working directory. Fixable, if tedious.
In addition, their histories all get commingled into one list. Sort of.
Hitting the up arrow cycles through the mess, but sometimes it doesn't give back the last command run, but an arbitrary one from history.
Thus I kept patching the wrong VM and wondering why the one I was looking at didn't update. 😠

@asmcbain@woof.tech isn't this normal terminal behaviour though? Although I understand it being confusing if you're not used to it If it's anything like Linux, command history is stored when the terminal interpreter closes (so when you close the tab), and every tab is a individual interpreter session so they're largely unaware of eachother
