Subject: How mantainers check Git diffs and patches?
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2025 00:30:43 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aNygY8Cm7LEaBzV6@localhost> (raw)
Hello,
This is a simple question I have related to the PR diff review process.
How Git maintainers use to check diffs and review the code? I mean,
sometimes I see that there are some large PATCHES that is hard or
probably impossible to review only using e-mail client.
Do you use some syntax highlight in client e-mail; any pipeline that
automatically download e-mails and apply to a local branch; or for each
PR you save the e-mail file then "git apply" to review / test the diff?
This isn't a technical question, I'm just curious about how you do it.
