-# Better Diffs With Delta
-
-A `git diff` from the command line is relatively bare bones. It shows you
-removed lines and added lines that make up a changeset with the former text in
-red and the later text in green. All other contextual text is in white. I've
-found this to be good enough for most of the life of my git usage. I've been
-missing out though.
-
-By using [`delta`](https://github.com/dandavison/delta) as the pager and diff
-filter for `git`, I get a bunch of nice visual improvements.
-
-- Removals and additions are red and green shaded backgrounds
-- Syntax highlighting for most languages
-- Highlight specific part of a line that has changed
-- Visual spacing and layout is clearer
-
-To get all of this, all I had to do was install `delta`:
-
-```bash
-$ brew install delta
-```
-
-And then add `delta` as both the _core_ pager and `diffFilter` in my global git
-config file:
-
-```
-[core]
-	pager = delta
-[interactive]
-	singleKey = true # unrelated, but nice to have
-	diffFilter = delta --color-only
-```
-
-It's also recommended that you use `zdiff3` for your merge conflict style,
-which I already had:
-
-```
-[merge]
-	conflictstyle = zdiff3
-```
-
-Once you have ths all configred, try a `git diff` or `git add --patch` and see
-how much more visual info you get.

-# Format Date And Time With Time Constants
-
-The Go [`time` package](https://pkg.go.dev/time) has a [`Format`
-function](https://pkg.go.dev/time#Time.Format) for displaying the parts of a
-date and time in standard and custom ways. It works a bit different than you
-might be used to from other languages. Rather than using `strftime` identifiers
-like in this string `"%B %d, %Y"`, there is a canonical date that is used as a
-reference point.
-
-That canonical date is from Janary 2nd, 2006. That was a Monday. It was at 5
-seconds after 3:04PM. The Unix format of it looks like `"Mon Jan _2 15:04:05
-MST 2006"`.
-
-```
-package main
-
-import (
-	"fmt"
-	"time"
-)
-
-func main() {
-	// This specific time pulled from `time.Format` docs
-	t, _ := time.Parse(time.UnixDate, "Wed Feb 25 11:06:39 PST 2015")
-
-	// Reference date and time:
-	// "Mon Jan _2 15:04:05 MST 2006"
-
-	strf1 := t.Format("|2006|02|01|03:04:05|Day: Mon|")
-	fmt.Println("strf1:", strf1)
-	// strf1: |2015|25|02|11:06:39|Day: Wed|
-
-	strf2 := t.Format(time.DateTime)
-	strf3 := t.Format(time.RubyDate)
-	strf4 := t.Format(time.Kitchen)
-
-	fmt.Println("DateTime:", strf2) // DateTime: 2015-02-25 11:06:39
-	fmt.Println("RubyDate:", strf3) // RubyDate: Wed Feb 25 11:06:39 +0000 2015
-	fmt.Println("Kitchen:", strf4)  // Kitchen: 11:06AM
-}
-```
-
-Though there are a [variety of useful formatting
-constants](https://pkg.go.dev/time#pkg-constants) already available like
-`DateTime`, `RubyDate`, `Kitchen`, etc., we can also define our own formatting
-string by using the reference values for each part of a date and time.
-
-If you want to reference the year, whether as `YYYY` or `YY`, it is always
-going to be a form of `2006`, so `2006` or `06` respectively. Even though the
-above time variable is in February, our format strings will always need to use
-one of `Jan`, `January`, `01` or `1`.
