Does anybody know if this, or can suggest a GUI client that supports "split-diff" similar to what GitHub offers?

I tried a bunch of clients, including "Sublime Merge", but none of them seem to have what to me, seems like a better way of looking at diffs where the changes are interspersed across an entire function.

... maybe I'm not looking for the right "name"? any pointers in that direction would help as well.

In Sublime Merge under Preferences > Layout you can change the Diff Layout. By default we use Auto, which switches between Inline (unified) and Side-by-side (split) based on how large the window is. You can pin it to a specific size if you prefer that style.

ah! how did I miss this option! thanks :)

OSX only, but GitUp is the only GUI got tool I have used that feels like it actually is helpful for a git workflow. I _really_ wish it worked on Linux, but it's basically not possible without an entire rewrite.

I'm a big fan of GitKraken

Wondering why this was downvoted, I'm also an user of GitKraken (for a while now), their diff layout and keyboard accessibility is amazing to help maximize work speed.

If you're on macOS, there's Kaleidoscope https://www.kaleidoscopeapp.com/

Maybe Meld: http://meldmerge.org/

The google search that may help would be for "merge tools".
