I'm switching to Github Desktop for commits - this is terrible. For large files and large numbers of changes, it's utterly unusable from not only a interaction usability perspective, but even more so from a performance perspective - it freezes any time I try to look at changes (I'm running a well-equipped 2023 16 inch Macbook Pro, shouldn't have issues)

This was so helpful, thank you for posting the answer with such limited engagement here for so long.
