When writing long sentences in documentation repositories, git tends to show really unhelpful diffs. They are unreadable because long lines aren’t broken, which hides edits happening towards end of line. A colleague of mine asked me if git couldn’t be configured to make this sort of thing more obvious. Challenge accepted! Figure 1: Can you spot the edit made in a long line of text? Kaushal Modi’s blog post on git diff for minified JS and CSS inspired this idea for all you prose lovers.
