I'm trying to improve the readability of the --help output from difftastic. I'm experimenting with making example invocations bold, so they are easier to distinguish from the text. I'm also trying OSC 8 to make my URLs clickable. Opinions welcome :)

I regularly see the phrase "all Xs are Ys, but not all Ys are Xs" in teaching material. Even material for children! I have to re-read it every time. I very much prefer "Y is a more general category than X" or "X is a subset of Y". Do people find this phrasing helpful, or is it poor pedagogy?

I've dabbled with 'conventional commits' for a personal project but I found they slowed me down. It's not always easy to categorise a commit as a fix, a chore etc. Sometimes refactorings also fix bugs. Do you use them? I can imagine a large, mature project benefitting more.
