Topic: Find how I proved something last time


Robin Green (Feb 10 2024 at 13:16):

Is there any better way to find where/how I proved something last time - assuming I didn't save it as its own theorem/lemma - than to just go down all my files line by line in VS Code until I see a proof goal that seems similar to what I'm facing now? I just mean to find the general technique, the details may be different.

It’s extremely unreliable, but GitHub Copilot will occasionally manage to do this.

It’s filled in similar proofs for me several times, though possibly that was only within file (I don’t remember).
