    sorry if you consider that as hijack, it was just a user's request to use this as default plugin on their git. But I will add it to let the users know thanks for the feedback

    It doesn't override git diff at all, sem is its own standalone CLI. git diff continues to work exactly as before. You do sem setup only when you want to change your default git dif…

    sem doesn't override git diff, it's a completely separate command (sem diff). Your regular git diff should work exactly as it always has after installing sem. If you want to change…

    This is actually the exact scenario we just spent the last few weeks optimizing for. On a 71K-file TypeScript monorepo, sem was previously choking entirely (DNF), and now completes…

    Lemme give you an example. when you're working in a 100K-file TypeScript monorepo and you change a utility function that parses API responses. git diff tells you that you changed n…
