  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.

• Visualizing branch changes without Github

  I recommend taking a look at diff-so-fancy! It made things a lot nicer for me! Also, if you use visual studio code, you can set that as your diff tool (it displays the added sections with green highlighting, and removed sections in red, showing the old and new versions side by side).
