I never knew these tools existed, but now I realize they are most likely the heart and soul of git.

If you edit code with an editor and not a magnetized needle your existence is literally bloat.

git is bloat i only use diff and patch

The video stuck on 9:11. Can this be more controversial?

Git uses its own implementation of diff. You can use `git diff --no-index` to get a git-style diff of any two files without creating a repository. One of it's best features is that it can show you not just a diff of lines but also a diff of words with the `--color-words` flag and a diff of characters with `--color-words=.`, which is useful when something just got renamed or there are a lot of lines with small changes so the regular diff output just isn't clear.

Computers are bloat. I only use charcoal and tree bark.

I wonder if they noticed my secret message to investigate WTC 7 🤔

UNIX Chad just won't stop streaming and patching!

When you're writing TeX, you should break after every sentence (every colon). This makes it easy to diff (and hence use git on) sentences.

That thumbnail may be the best thing I've seen all week.

Man, those thumbnails. Please don't stop making them. In fact, make a gallery, Instagram account or something to enjoy them apart from your KZfaq channel. They are a state of art. Whenever you release a video with those meme thumbnails I think "the next video can't beat the fucking laugh I'm having with this one", and yet you manage to prove me wrong every single time. Creativity 100

Only me cried watching this? So beautiful

When he patched the original thesis without making a backup, my heart died. I didn't know about the -R flag so when he whipped that out, huuuuge plot twist.

I am learning to use dwm, but i have problem with how to do about error of patch , and after i watch your video everything is clear. Thank you Luke.

My roflcopter goes soi soi soi~

Wow, i think diff and patch are the unaccredited souls/influencers of git Git initial release: 7 April 2005 Diff Initial release: June 1974 Patch Initial release: May 24, 1985

Git does all this and has a simpler, more unified interface. Just like systemd, amirite guise?

I use vim/gvim to look for changes/differences of two files. gvim has the option in the file menu. You can even change both files in parallel and the differences are displayed

The Little head shake at 00:53 , when you say about the times you were a normie 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think that using a VCS like git would make this a lot easier since you can see a history of all changes and reset to any revision. Plus, git has conflict resolution features and allows you to push the stuff to a remote repository.

Good video, I had the "error message" a day or two ago and this was just what I needed. By the way if you are a gentoo user reading this you can apply patches by putting them in /etc/portage/patches/mypkgcategory/mypkg/ and they will be applied on emerge. If you encounter the "error message" you can fix it like in the video and then compile, install and qmerge the ebuild(don't re-emerge as that will re unpack the source code and not apply your changes).

Beautiful!, thanks Luke!

This is too unbloat. I'd rather user git!

this is brilliant, your explanations were extremely clear, thanks so much, i just subscribed :)

Your research of minimalistic systems will bring you on BSD's OS.

another great video... keep spreading the good word of suckless and dwm...

9:09-9:12 FREEZE

Excellent video. Thanks! 👍

Thanks for the nice video. Started watching your channel recently and love your content.

You should definitely get those solid colors icons back to the statusbar in LARBS. It looks soo much better than colored emoji.

I had been looking for something like diff. Didn't even realize it was built in.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX. Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

A nice alternative to diff is icdiff. Try it!

Have you ever consider to get a lpi certification ?

Vimdiff is pretty nice if you use a decent colorscheme, especially if you have many conflicts between the two files.

WELL, FOR THE PARTICULAR CASE OF TEX FILES, THERE'S OVERLEAF.

Might add dwm to ArchBang, of course I will credit Mr Smith...

AWESOME! That was the missing part to start with DWM^^

Very useful as always, keep it going!

Loving the searchable titles 👍

>green lines pointing to the right

God, this is smart

What do you guys think of the Olimex Teres 1? Should I get one or an old Thinkpad?

Nice video, thanks!

Oh my God. Dwm made your face bigger

Pretty sure git does use patch and diff, I know on github you can view the diff files generated for each commit.

>hermeticism Luke just wanted us all to know right off the bat that he's a wizard

> not using quilt

That was a good video. Thanks.

Git diff is completely compatible with patch.

I use diff a lot, but patch has patched my brain!

I understand you can find the diff between an old and new file, and then use .patch to apply the changes to all other other copies of that old file.. But why, not just directly copy/over-write the old file.. I can't imagine it's about the .patch file being tiny compared to the actual file, so what's the advantage?

Thanks I needed this, the thing I patched dwm with the alpha patch of transparency it did succeed but when compiling it gives you errors of you have like prev dwm install, I tried to do it directly without actually installing dwm only after patching but sadly it didn't work even with Compton running

what's your process like for applying dwm patches? (e.g. you find one on the site that doesn't mesh with the latest source off git)

how do you come up with ideas for your thumbnails

If you're using suckless programs (and you're newbie) NEVER use "patch < file" use "patch -p1 < file"

Speaking of suckless programmes, I have a problem: I tried to install the download manager patch for surf (after many hours of research on the internet, it seems that I can't curl a document from my college's Moodle...). But it seems that the diff file was generated based on an already patched surf sources or on old surf version (but I can't find the version anywhere): The patch fail and some of the functions used in it does not exist in the original files. Do you know where to get a list of patches that I have to install, the version that was used for the patch or the original source code of the patch? Thank you for your help!

hunks owo

Did you find a way to get the webcam mpv instance (mpvfloat) to be floating ?

is vimdiff bloat?

So this is basically like git?

Wallpaper? I know you have them on your github, but what's the name of this specific one?

SORCERY!

it hurts me when i see spaces or capital letters in name of anything

Is the podcast canceled ?

Thanks a lot mate.. there are tons of shitty stackoverflow answers out there on this topic but your video kills it...

Wait you don't hard wrap your lines?

Gay Boomer shows us his hunk collection for 10 minutes and 20 seconds

My hooknosed neighbor, who always wears a funny little hat, said he was being targeted by skinhead hackers who pretended to be Japanese cartoon school girls. Who of you guys was it? My neighbor wants his khazaar screensaver back.

Another reason to use text files.

Benis.

Brilliant as usual! Thanks a lot!

😲 @Luke Smith you are using mouse ... Can't believe

9:58 "I can make a diff file and send it to myself" - yes, but you can also send the whole file at that point, it's not like text files are going to be more than a few KB anyway. I would say this is more useful when you make changes on different machines to different parts of the file and you want to merge them.

me during the video: Oooh so that's how git works ..... luke: "Maybe git uses them as the back end or something they definitely can generate diff files"

screw this. i'm installing xfce

Patch is bloat. I rewrite source code with psychic powers

Why does diff print ASCII art? diff should print ed commands to turn one file into another, thus removing the need for patch. man.cat-v.org/plan_9_2nd_ed/1/diff

LaTeX is bloat ConTeXt ftw

I'm interested to know if someone has a decent setup for combinging makepkg with suckless tools. What I'm hoping for are PKGBUILD files that build your local source tree for some tool, but with the source tree still tracked by git and able to be pushed to a fork on github (or whatever).

Nice Video

vimdiff is way better :P

>reddit spacing

Brainlet tier question, how do you get different items on your xsetroot (dwm status) to sleep for different amounts of time? I can't seem to get it to work.

Could you share your patch for dwm ?

Luke Smith is bloated.

But I know how to use git...oh, right. For patching.

Analytics like comments.

Geist = geblasen

Vcs for poor people 😅😂

>Not forcing your computer illiterate project collaborators to use git Shameful

Oh no spaces - The guy who put's all kinds of horrible characters into his video titles XD

amazing video ID ;P -CiLU9-RAGk CILUG RACK no meaning, just cool
