<p>Using arc diff to submit a new diff is OK, but I find that using it to update a diff isn't that intuitive (git I can try an understand, but arc on top of git is just an extra hoop to jump through for me); I'd rather just persevere through the web UI.</p></div>

<p>Sorry to chime in again, but as part of <a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/T7116" style="background-color: #e7e7e7;

By all means, please let me know what you miss there, because IMO it really is much easier than using Git and the web uploader:</p>
<div class="remarkup-code-block" style="margin: 12px 0;" data-code-lang="bash" data-sigil="remarkup-code-block"><pre class="remarkup-code" style="font: 11px/15px "Menlo", "Consolas", "Monaco", monospace; padding: 12px; margin: 0; background: rgba(71, 87, 120, 0.08);"><span style="color: #74777d"># setup</span>

arc diff
<span style="color: #74777d"># do more work</span>
arc diff
<span style="color: #74777d"># do more work</span>
arc diff</pre></div>
<p>IOW, instead of <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">git diff</tt>, you can just use <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">arc diff</tt>. Note that this will still work even if you have multiple local commits, because it diffs against the upstream tracking branch set by <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">arc feature</tt>, e.g. <tt style="background: #ebebeb; font-size: 13px;">master</tt> in this case.</p>
