Turning off syntax highlighting
Slightly meta: Turning off the syntax highlighting entirely seems a bit hardcore to me, however, <i>I always read each commit I do</i> via git diff / pull request view, which does not have syntax highlighting (other than red/green for removals/additions), and I always strive to make the diff look good for each commit (which means, doing one thing at a time in each commit, and making sure it reads well).<p>Unfortunately, not everyone I work with reads their code (yep, they write-commit-push-and-forget!) which sometimes makes code review a not so nice experience.<p>Please, please, <i>read your diffs</i> before sending code for review.
