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.
