Append the new others at the end of the file?

Im receiving the next issue when i put a link in others.lst:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Maximization/CodeAbbey/master/src/SumAB.java

Just append the new others at the end of the file to avoid this kind of git diffs

What does it mean? i put the link on the Others.list end of the others.lst doc and leave a blank space for the eof. Im doing something wrong?

We strongly encourage commits and changes made to the repositories to be as clear as possible, to understand in a quick glance what is changing on every MR.

In this case, git detects you are modifying the entire file instead of a portion of it. The solution is quite simple, just add the others at the end of the file, one other per line:

OLD OTHER
OLD OTHER
OLD OTHER
NEW OTHER
NEW OTHER
...
EOF

Make sure to check that git detects only the additions of the new solutions in the others and not the change of the entire file before opening a MR.

This can be done quickly using a git diff @~1 in your console or checking your branch diff in the gitlab web interface

Hope it clarifies your doubts :slight_smile:
