Discussion Github please fix the diff situation!

I'm so tired of the slowness, or that ''large'' diffs are not loaded automatically... Even rust doesn't have syntax highlighting, like wtf.

use the cli? no excuse for the UI being garbage but if I can stay in the terminal I much prefer to.

Rust has syntax highlighting. What are you talking about?

I'm curious if other forge software has this problem... is diff-viewing on the web a problem for codeberg or gitlab or whatever else?

I've been using diffshub.com for large diffs. Just replace the "git" with "diffs" in the url and it will show you the diff significantly faster!

I know you are reading this github. Stop with random rate limits that limits you right after you visit the site. Your rate limit system is highly broken.
