How come? How is a text .patch file easier in this regard than a UI for essentially that same .patch? Can't you check out the PR in the same way you would 'apply' a patch to review it?
For what it's worth, you can just add .patch onto the end of a github PR URL to get that.
- mariusor 3y agoI don't look at the patch by itself, I hoped that was clear. I apply the patch locally, where I have the full context. I can of course do the same with the PR, but then it loses its convenience. :)
