Some of us like "interdiff" code review


Why some of us like "interdiff" code review systems (not GitHub) - index.md

Gerrit GitHub (the website you are on) Phabricator (RIP) Uploading.patch files into a bug tracker and waiting until the maintainer sees it, downloads it, and reads it Emailing someone via git send-email telling them to pull from a git:// URL that is hosted on a 7 year old "server" somewhere in your house and then reading the email they send back Implainting the idea in your coworkers head with a long discussion so that they end up implementing it while you do something else Note that there are only dotted orange lines, and no other colors; the "implicit relationship" established by the earlier graph is no longer a concern, because there aren't any extra commits. You no longer have to worry about running git show abcdefg on a blamed line and seeing it came from"fix alice review", it will come from a change like the first commit,"refactor and deduplicate controller code" or whatnot.
