Thoughts
Github's design team deserves a raise. Better than any TUI or GUI or other website. Even just down to the level of displaying code.
This is the type of thing that its easy for engineers to forget about, but it matters. When we reminisce about the popularity of Github in the 2010s and 2020s, are we going to remember that it just looked better?
Sublime Merge and `git show` and Gitlab look good. I'm not dissing them. But they don't look as good as Github.com.
Github designed their syntax highlighting to look good with red/green diff backgrounds, and Gitlab is red(strings)-on-light-red and Sublime Merge is purple(keywords)-on-light-red and `git show` doesn't syntax highlight the underlying code at all.
