GitHub Enhances Pull Request Experience with Rich Diffs and Improved Ordering
GitHub has rolled out significant updates to its pull request 'Files changed' page, now in public preview. The enhancements include rich diff previews for image and markdown files, allowing users to toggle between source view and rich preview for markdown and .svg files. Image files now offer three comparison options: 2-up, swipe, and onion skin.
Folder and file ordering in the tree view has been streamlined, with folders now listed before files at the same level. This aligns with local IDEs and addresses previous navigation challenges. Performance improvements include fixes for expanding diff hunks and smoother navigation to collapsed files.
