delta VS volta

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.

Your local machine should have Node.js and npm installed. Wrangler CLI requires a Node version of 16.13.0 or later to avoid permission issues.

For node version management, I highly recommend Volta (not affiliated) - https://volta.sh

Go to https://volta.sh and install Volta

Alternatively, a better way to manage Node.js releases on your machine is to use an environment management tool like Volta that can install and switch between multiple versions seamlessly.

To use TypeScript you need Node.js installed, be sure to use the latest LTS version. You can check it by running node -v in your terminal. If you don't have it installed, you can download it here, or use a version manager like asdf, nvm, or even volta.
