Describing how to setup an automatic switching of Git identities (user.name, user.email) based on the directory you are in, as well as for switching authentication via github-cli (`gh`) in a similar manner.

Multi-Account Git + GitHub CLI Setup

A pattern for maintaining two separate GitHub identities on one machine (e.g. personal and work), with automatic switching based on which directory tree you are working in. No manual switching required after initial setup.

Adafruit 1.2" 7-segment LED i2c hex configuration
The Adafruit 1.2" 4 digit 7-segment LED display with backpack (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1270) is connexted via the i2c bus interface. Adafruit has a quite good soldering & setup tutorial at https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-led-backpack/1-2-inch-7-segment-backpack, however they do a terrible job of describing in easy detail the necessary i2c writes to control the display from a language other than their provided libraries for Arduino or Python. So I've assembled a pretty comprehensive address and data to write in order to fully control the display. Please see attached images for some details.
digit segment numbered.jpg - shows an image of the display, along with numbers/letters along with a bitmask to use to control each segment.
seven segment bitmask chart.jpg - shows which bits control which segments for the digits
dots segment bitmask chart.jpg - shows which bits control which segments for the dots
Examples of writing are using the Linux i2c-tools. For example this write:
i2cset 1 0x
