Running echo "*.m diff=objc" >> .gitattributes in a git repo tells git to use the obj-c diff algorithm when running git diff. For the most part, this isn't much different from the standard diff algorithm. However, it adds one key benefit.

In a unified git diff, added lines are prefixed with a +, and removed lines are prefixed with a -. Unchanged lines are provided for context, and have no prefix. As added context, though, unified diffs have a @@-prefixed line at the beginning of each hunk. Minimally, the @@ lines specify which lines in the file are being changed. It can also contain a label, if git can determine an appropriate label for that section of code.

By default, the label on a hunk context line is the name of the enclosing C function. That works great for C-ish code, but completely misses Obj-C method signatures. As a result, when diffing Obj-C files, the context label is either empty, or falls back to the last C-ish declaration it could find. This is usually entirely useless.

Accessing an API using CoreData's NSIncrementalStore

Note: the original location of this article is on my blog, however, it is posted here too for better readability.

In this article, we will see how to use Core Data for accessing your API. We will use the Bandcamp API as our running example. I've only been experimenting with this code for a few days, so there might be mistakes in there.
