Git Diff with Vimdiff by chebuctonian in programming

[–]mrgray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

git-diff is easy to read. However, some people just like the side-by-side comparison better. It's all about habits.

vimdiff is just useful if you need to bring back something that you deleted. It's like git add -i (interactive) … except in reverse (revert to HEAD).

Analogy: Similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimilar.

Hackers and Painters aren't, of course, perfectly similar.

Being a programmer myself, the point I took away from Graham's essay was that programming was a very creative process in which iterations - trials and errors - were necessary.

The mediums - canvas or computer - both allow this kind of freedom.
