# Context In the context of the New Diffs effort ([Epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11559)), we aim to use this issue to collaborate documenting the current implementation of Diffs. # Scope Implementations to document: * Repository Commit * Compare Branches * Merge Requests (Changes) * New Merge Request form * ...? Note: We'll need to document how data flows from gitaly to rails to caching to frontend. # How? We should keep it somewhat simple but perhaps a mermaid chart with a blurb of text explaining details could suffice at this point? Open for discussion and other proposals. <details><summary><b>Example</b> (really rough, please improve)</summary> ```mermaid flowchart TD subgraph "repository_commits" rails_repo["Repository Rails"] db_repo["Repository DB"] cache_repo["Redis"] fe_repo["Frontend (HAML)"] end subgraph "gitaly" end gitaly --> rails_repo rails_repo --> db_repo rails_repo --> cache_repo cache_repo --> rails_repo rails_repo --> fe_repo ``` </details>
