🐛 delta won't show diffs of files marked as autogenerated with `.gitattributes` even though they're text files about delta

[imbrish]

By unsetting the diff in .gitattributes, you are telling git that it is not possible to diff the *.md files. Which, if i understand correctly, is what you want on GitHub. The standard behavior is showing such files as binary. It has nothing to do with delta.

If you want to skip these diffs on GitHub, but generate them locally, I guess you could have another attributes file, not included in version control, where you tell git it should diff these files. I am a bit unsure about inheritance though.

I did think that is the case, does that imply then that vscode is behaving how I want due to the fact that it's probably behaving incorrectly?

I don't use vscode myself, but I would imagine it talks with git to be helpful, and not necessarily promises to follow all the rules.
