We are working with phabricator and git.
Let's say a colleague creates a commit and published it for review with arc-diff, but I don't want to look at it with the web interface, I want to look at it with my local tools. For the sake of argument using "git difftool -d".
In theory all I would need is for phabricator or arc to give me two commits to run git difftool on.
Is there any way for me to do this?
You can use arc patch to land his diff on a new branch or arc patch --nobranch to land it on your current branch. You can then use any tool to process them as git changes.
