qrcp VS delta

qrcp? https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp

So I want to transfer some photos from my iPhone to my computer. I found an online tool called qrcp (https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp). Downloaded it and ran it on my computer (Linux user). Then, I accessed it from my iPhone and uploaded a few files to test it out.

I don't suspect it is due to firewall issues, because I am able to run https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp without issue, with all pairs of machines able to access each other on the network with the specified port.

For a slightly different situation where just want to get one file quickly onto your android device, I've found qrcp to be extremely lightweight and reliable.

If you want to do it from your phone, there are online websites which can do this for a subscription, (there are shortcuts for Siri also, etc) and if you are working from your computer, you can just use qrcp, which is absolutely free and MIT License. Nothing beats open source. Get it from GitHub in a matter of seconds, use this pattern to create a QR code which multiple students can scan, and project it to your whiteboard. Everyone will have the files readily.

qrcp - Transfer files over Wi-Fi from your computer to a mobile device by scanning a QR code without leaving the terminal. Its always been lighting fast for me.

qrcp is my go to most of the time

I use https://github.com/claudiodangelis/qrcp. It's very fast.

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.
