FR : set git diff parameters

Hi,

it would be nice to have configurable git diff , such has for instance for

• diff-pdf --view for .pdf
• --word-diff for .tex

etc…

Thanks

yes, this is great 😉 ! …and this is indeed basically why I started to use git for all my projects, thanks to simplicity of GUIs like GH-D … and that’s also the rationale that moved me to propose those features, pretty much in line with that you already did for the png (even if I have no idea of how that is implemented 😅 ) …

Great question, sorry for the lack of clarity. 😄 What I mean is that Git offers a whole bunch of config flags that offer basically endless configuration preferences. We generally think that the goal of trying to replicate all of Git’s configuration is in opposition to making things obvious and intuitive. So for very common workflows we try to support the patterns that give folks the greatest ability to accomplish their goals, but we don’t want to replace Git’s functionality and config on a one-for-one basis. There’s a bit more about how we think about those and other tradeoffs here: https://github.com/desktop/desktop/blob/master/docs/process/what-is-desktop.md
