Oh, the riveting #excitement of rendering diffs! 🤦♂️ Just when you thought version control couldn't get any more thrilling, along comes a treatise on the subtle art of... waiting for it... comparing lines of code. 🚀 Thanks, Pierre Computer Company, for reminding us that software development is truly a party. 🎉

🚀 Wow, hold onto your beanies, folks! It's 2025, and we're still pretending that the arcane sorcery of "git #rebase --onto" is accessible to mere mortals. 💀🤣 Remember, the key to mastering #stacked #diffs is to revel in the Sisyphean joy of wrestling with outdated documentation and unhelpful error messages! 🎉

Came up at work but definitely a question of general interest:
I feel like when looking at a line-by-line diff of an XML file, it's just... really not super clear, even with highlighting and such. Is there any sort of graph-aware diff tool that might generate a visual graph and show the difference that way? So that rather than reviewing line by line, you can say "ah, a node has moved from being a child of this node to another", or "these two nodes have been merged into one".
I feel like it would be possible to gin something up in like, networkX or something, but if there's prior art...

Here is a tip for anybody learning #Git and is confused by #merging and #rebasing
We all know git stores commits as snapshots. However, when it comes to merging and rebasing, it's better to think of commits as #diffs that introduce changes (the thing you get with git diff). You are actually combining, splitting, rearranging or deleting diffs - not snapshots.
This requires a slight change in your mental model of git. But the operations will make sense immediately.

I cannot imagine living without file revisioning, like #git
Having used them daily for the previous 30 years, I don't understand how developers work without #branches, #merging, #diffs.
#visualsourcesafe #cvs #svn #hg #git it doesn't matter - it's the concept of revisioning and being and to "go back in time".
#Revisioning also for binaries, Word documents and Excels, of course. What else?

Continuing with #projects, let me talk for a minute about #diffx!
Did you know there's no standard file format for #diffs? No, seriously. I mean, there are Unified Diffs, but that just covers the actual line changes. There's nothing for metadata, no consistency for filename encodings, nothing. It's a mess.
So we're working to solve that with DiffX:
This provides #metadata, parsing rules, mutability, binary files.
All backwards-compatible with common diff variants.
