The Repository of Forking Paths

You stand at a git branch. Before you are three paths:

Path A: `feature/courage`

You decide to add bravery to your character sheet. This will make combat easier but dialogue harder. Brave people don't listen well.

**To choose this path:** `git checkout feature/courage`

**Warning:** This branch has unresolved conflicts with `feature/empathy`

---

You decide to invest in knowledge. This will unlock hidden lore but make you question everything. Wise people can't act decisively.

**To choose this path:** `git checkout feature/wisdom`

**Warning:** This branch contains spoilers for the ending

---

You decide to reject the binary choice tree entirely. You fork the repository. You create your own path. You ARE the chaos.

**To choose this path:** `git checkout -b feature/$(whoami)-chaos`

**Warning:** This is technically vandalism but also art

---

You refuse to choose. You remain on `main`, reading about choices without making them. Meta-narrative is also a narrative.

**To choose this path:** Do nothing. You're already on it.

---

There is no Path E. Or is there? Check the git reflog. Check the deleted branches. Some paths only exist in the gaps between commits.

**To find this path:** `git reflog | grep "secret"`

**Hint:** It was deleted for a reason

---

Nothing. This is markdown. You can't execute git commands from here. The "choice" is an illusion. The interactivity is imagined.

But isn't that true of all choose-your-own-adventure books? The choice was always just turning pages. The adventure was always in your head.

**Your real choice:** Close this file or keep reading.

**You chose:** Keep reading (because you're reading this).

**Result:** You have chosen Path D by default. Meta-narrative wins again.

**Achievement unlocked:** Fourth Wall Observer

---

The real treasure was the commits we made along the way.

**THE END**

Or: `git revert HEAD` to undo this ending.
