Description

Language name

dyff

URL of example repository

https://github.com/homeport/dyff

URL of syntax highlighting grammar

TBD

Most popular extensions

unaware of extensions, if any

Detected language

N/A(?)

I would love to have dyff highlighting in code blocks on PRs. Initially I went down the path of having a highlight.js addition for this language, but then the github docs seem to suggest liguist as the way to go - to which I am opening this issue here.
