• GitHub Desktop 3.2: Preview your pull request

  For those who want a GUI around this on Mac, https://rowanj.github.io/gitx/ is an incredible secret weapon. You can swipe over a bunch of lines or let the software identify a whole span of contiguous changed lines, click a button, and see just those changes move over from your unstaged to staged changes, then commit exactly what you want. A lot of times people don't even understand how powerful the staging area... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Where are the simple Git GUIs?

  You'd still have to jump to CLI to resolve conflicts, but it makes easy commits easier. http://rowanj.github.io/gitx/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• How to deal with unmaintained crates? (eg. yaml-rust)

  I agree, if you get lots of forks you can end up with a situation like Tomato) or GitX, or even custom Android ROMs where there are a ton of different versions and you have to wade through forum posts and git histories to find out what the differences between them are, which ones still work at all, which ones are still maintained, etc. Source: over 2 years ago

• Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax

  The diff itself is impressive, but in terms of styling I still prefer diff-so-fancy[1]. It's easier to read at a glance. [1]: https://github.com/so-fancy/diff-so-fancy/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Git Learnt

  This is actually one that's really easy to write and remember but I hate typing and I run it all the time, so I've aliased it down to gd for git-diff. Also I use diff-so-fancy to make the output of my diffs look frickin sweet and I suggest you do the same. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• diff: can I increase highlighting of a file name?

  I recommend a tool like diff-so-fancy with some custom colors. You will never want to go back to vanilla diffs. Source: over 1 year ago

• diff: can I increase highlighting of a file name?

  Ok, thanks, diff-so-fancy is a good solution for me. Source: over 1 year ago

• TIL: diff-so-fancy; and some funky git config

  I just discovered diff-so-fancy, and very nice it is too. I immediately added it to my standard git config, which is semi-automatically installed on every machine I use. However, I've not (yet) installed diff-so-fancy on all the machines I use, and for those platforms for which it's not packaged I probably won't bother installing it from source. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
