Diff view between "original" and "updated"
Hi. Thank you so much for starting this series.
I wonder if it's possible (and not too much of a hassle) to make use of git's diffing to highlight the differences between 2 files.
I think one option is to first commit "updated" as an exact copy of "original", then commit your recommendations on top of "updated", so git history has the diffs between the original state and the final state. Then it's also possible to highlight the recommendations part-by-part by breaking them down into multiple commits.
Thank you again!
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion - I think it's a great idea. I will definitely look into this and update the existing edition when I can. If you fancy having a go and showing me what you would find most useful then I'd gratefully receive a PR :)
Robert, first let me thank you for taking such an ambitious project! I enjoy your blog and look forward to reading all of it! I think baogianghoangvu is on to a very important and larger point. Revision control is an critical part of effective software development. There are many ways to integrate it into your lessons and I would like to see that. Again thanks for your efforts!
Thanks for the comment @mcastrigno - this definitely makes sense. I'll see what I can do in future editions.
Hi! Sorry for the late reply & PR. I've made an attempt at PR #2. Please have a look. Hope this helps!
@robert Also, if you have a look and think the approach & format in PR #2 is ok, I'd be happy to do the same for the other PFAB blogposts.
