ajour VS delta

I miss the ajour client...

However if privacy is a concern there are some open source alternatives you can find like Ajour (https://github.com/ajour/ajour).

Project I am talking about: https://github.com/ajour/ajour

The best desktop app in Rust that I used was ajour (polished, self-contained portable exec., auto-update, ...)

Bad news tho...

At the time of this sale, a lot of apps (Cursebreaker, Ajour) started popping up, which utilized the Curseforge api to pull addon packages down, thus skirting around Overwolf's application. Fast-forward to a few months ago, Overwolf announced they were reworking the API. This required developers to apply for access, and even if approved, addon devs controlled whether the packages were accessible via the API. Curseforge uses ads to payout developers who host there, so rightfully so, skirting around the Overwolf app wasn't acceptable to them anymore. With these changes, developers of these apps ceased worked on them.

unfortunately Ajour no longer has support.

Well. For now, I would just recommend Ajour, which is probably the best addon manager out there. It's really simple, lightweight, has no ads, updates all of your addons in mere seconds, and it can even update weakauras from wago.io. It can download from Wowinterface and the Tukui website too, so you can use it to update ElvUI.

These issues are the main reasons why Ajour's developer decided to quit.

Thanks for the difftastic & zoxide tips.

However, I've been using this git pager/difftool: https://github.com/dandavison/delta

While it's not structural like difft, it does produce more readable output for me (at least when scrolling fast through git log -p /scanning quickly

I'm currently waiting on the integration between Delta and Difftastic:

https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/535

Difftastic now has JSON output, whic should make it much easier to build this.

I'm surely in the minority here. I've been using Emacs for almost a decade now, but I just can't get into the Magit workflow. I've tried several times, but always end up going back to Git on the command line. I have dozens of aliases, shell integrations, a nice diff viewer[1], etc., and interacting with Git has become muscle memory. I can commit, cherry-pick, rebase, bisect, fix conflicts, etc., in a fraction of the time it would take me to navigate Magit's UI. I'm sure with enough practice, a Magit user could do this more quickly and efficiently, but honestly, with some custom-built porcelain, Git's UI is not so bad. Though this could very well be Stockholm syndrome after using it for such a long time...

For whatever reason, Magit's opinionated workflows never clicked with me. A part of it is the concern that it will do something weird to my repo that I'll then have to waste more time undoing manually. I usually don't trust sugary wrappers around tools. And another is the fact I don't use Emacs on all machines, and setting up Git on a remote system is just a matter of copying over my config and some shell integrations.

Also, on a more personal note, I find the cultish fanboyism whenever Magit is brought up slightly offputting. Does anyone have anything bad to say about it? No software can realistically be this infallible. :)

For looking at diffs I still prefer the command line though, and use delta to view diffs between commits or branches.
