I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html The different distros have taken different approaches, so I'm trying to help with common gotchas — don't forget the man page! Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂

I've heard of 'blub languages', where you don't realise that other languages have better abstractions until you've experienced them. I think the same thing happens with individual features. I've seen several C++ folks miss variadic generics in Rust, but I've not written enough C++ to feel it.

I'm never sure what to name my remotes in git. I tend to use 'mine' so I can add other forks later, but sometimes I use 'gh' or the traditional 'origin'. What do others use?
