Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by inspecting Repository.Diff.Compare and the Patch data it returns, since the issue says the needed line information is absent there. Trace the diff API's existing documentation or examples to determine where changed line numbers are exposed. Done means identifying a supported way to retrieve the specific changed lines, or documenting that the API does not provide them.
