To selectively merge, I use `meld` https://meldmerge.org/ but there are others. Benefits of this even simpler approach: - We continue to use the tools we are used to. - We and our software don't have to learn a new inline diff format. - Both files retain valid syntax before and during the... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
