I would love to have dyff highlighting in code blocks on PRs. Initially I went down the path of having a highlight.js addition for this language, but then the github docs seem to suggest liguist as the way to go - to which I am opening this issue here.

If I'm understanding you correctly, you're referring to the diff view on PRs, ie the "Files changed" tab. If so, this has nothing to do with Linguist. This is entirely within the main GitHub app code and is essentially a pretty git diff (with some enhancements for certain file types). Linguist is only responsible for providing the grammar for the language of the original files, which in this case would be the YAML syntax.

hey @lildude your input is appreciated I would like to try and send this request over to whoever is managing the core services at github, but I assume those are not public repos (and the public repos under https://github.com/github don't seem relevant / are hard to navigate anyways). Do you know what would be the best way to achieve this?

Thanks.

Yup. Hit the "Contact GitHub" link on any page, or reach out in the discussions at https://github.com/community

Thanks for your input.

For completion, I wrote this community post as product feedback.
