delta
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Attracting attention to terminalimageviwer, a c++ program that renders an image with block chars and optionally teletype chars! Unfortunately hasn't had any real commits since July 2021
I tried TIV and I liked it pretty much, but for me, the output of imcat looks better.

My favorite cli/tui programs:
imcat - images in terminal (doesn't work in urxvt, works well in tilix/tty {tested there})

Why can't I write code inside my browser?
Do you have a specific gripe against X11? Again, it would be very much against the Unix philosophy to roll that highly complex functionality into the core SSH protocol. The problem would still be just as complex and challenging. Implementing a network-transparent GUI always is. You'd lose the separation of concerns, and you'd end up running two GUI systems rather than one.
If you want a very basic GUI over SSH without a full-blown GUI like with X11, you already have the option of using a TUI like Midnight Commander. You can preview images on the command-line, with a tool like imcat. [0]

So You Think You Know Git – Git Tips and Tricks by Scott Chacon
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

Unified versus Split Diff
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.

Magit
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. :)

How to use Git?
For looking at diffs I still prefer the command line though, and use delta to view diffs between commits or branches.
What are some alternatives?
TerminalImageViewer - Small C++ program to display images in a (modern) terminal using RGB ANSI codes and unicode block graphics characters
diff-so-fancy - Good-lookin' diffs. Actually… nah… The best-lookin' diffs. :tada:
glances - Glances an Eye on your system. A top/htop alternative for GNU/Linux, BSD, Mac OS and Windows operating systems.
difftastic - a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩
gitui - Blazing 💥 fast terminal-ui for git written in rust 🦀
vim-fugitive - fugitive.vim: A Git wrapper so awesome, it should be illegal
Code-Server - VS Code in the browser
lazygit - simple terminal UI for git commands
commons-io - Apache Commons IO
vim-gitgutter - A Vim plugin which shows git diff markers in the sign column and stages/previews/undoes hunks and partial hunks.
