when reviewing merge conflicts, especially in a rebase, it's useful to visualize the diff between
- old changes -> new old changes (what upstream changed), and
- old changes -> new changes (what you changed)
dependencies:
- nodejs
- yarn (
npm i -g yarn
) - diff-so-fancy (e.g.
npm i -g diff-so-fancy
)
- yarn (
npm i -g yarn diff-so-fancy
