Having image diffs in the terminal is very cool, however I ultimately decided against using kitty's diff feature due to using the existing colors of the shell being non-trivial. |

Git
Git is the standard version control tool.
Use Cases
Git can be used to:
- Keep track of file changes over time
- Keep a record of all contributors to a code base
- Rollback to a previous version of a project
- Create snapshots of a project with tags (also known as versions)
You should not use Git if:
- You are dealing with binary files
- You are dealing with large files that change often
Usage
First, install diff-so-fancy, an amazing git diff utility.
Then, create a ~/.gituser with the following:
[user]
name = <the name you use for git commits>
email = <the email you use for git commits>
signingkey = <the subkey you use to sign git commits>
