  • tig

    Text-mode interface for git

  • i mainly use the command line and a terminal ... i use tig

  • diff-so-fancy

    Good-lookin' diffs. Actually… nah… The best-lookin' diffs. :tada:

  • I recommend taking a look at diff-so-fancy! It made things a lot nicer for me! Also, if you use visual studio code, you can set that as your diff tool (it displays the added sections with green highlighting, and removed sections in red, showing the old and new versions side by side). Then, it'll automatically display differences between branches or commits in vscode when you run git difftool. See here for more on that.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • There's also delta, like diff-so-fancy but with many more options.
