I’ve been wanting something lighter than VSCodium, though I can’t find anything else that also does active line-by-line comparison of 2 nearly identical files. Do any other custom-syntax-highlighting editors come to mind?
Notepad ++ does that. It’s syntax highlighting and does great comparison of two nearly identical files. I’ve never used it to code though. I just use it for comparing text. But it is syntax highlighting.
Does that have support for dev containers ? Last time i went looking it seemed like there was a lot of hoops to jump through to get it working. Something about not working with the MS dev container plugin repo or something.
Choose Codium…

Magit? Git diff?

Kate (the KDE GUI editor) is pretty light and surprisingly competent if you set it up right. It has diff capability including git diffing.
Thanks, I’ll give it a shot!

The remote development extensions are all proprietary Microsoft software, so aren’t available (directly) in codium
