Highlights from Git 2.35

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • git

    A fork of Git containing Windows-specific patches. (by git-for-windows)

    > Sadly, even Google is so confused about Git VS GitHub that searching for "git blog" shows github.blog as the first result...

    Does https://git-scm.com/ even have a blog? I don't think Google is confused, it's just trying to give you the most relevant results.

  • delta

    A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

    (plug) delta does special display of diff3 merge conflicts: https://github.com/dandavison/delta#merge-conflicts

    It displays two diffs: one from the ancestral commit to “ours” and one from the ancestral commit to “theirs”. I find it helpful for understanding conflicts and how to resolve them — any feedback appreciated.

  • 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.

  • homebrew-core

    🍻 Default formulae for the missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)

    That should open this in your editor:

    https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/HEAD/Formula/...

    Change the url and sha256, then

        brew install git

  • vim-quickfix-conflicts

    Add git conflicts to your vim quickfix list to speedily hop to the next conflict marker

    Git jump is interesting, not new in this release (in 2.19) but I wasn't aware of it. I'm generally already in vim in another shell though, so I want the quickfix list populated there, not in a new instance.

    A while ago I wrote a vim plugin for this, has a bug where it (only sometimes?) won't go to the last conflict, but it's been helpful enough that I use it frequently.

    https://github.com/OJFord/vim-quickfix-conflicts

    (Yes, shameless promotion/maybe bait someone more familiar with vimscript into using it and immediately spotting cause of the above!)
