# 1. ALWAYS disable pagers for commands that might use them

# 3. Set safer defaults for common commands
alias less='less -R'

git config --global core.pager cat

# 5. Function to reset terminal when corrupted
fix-terminal() {
    reset
    stty sane
    echo "Terminal reset. Run 'cd /path/to/project' to fix working directory."
}
