diff-so-fancy strives to make your diff's human readable instead of machine readable. This helps improve code quality and help you spot defects faster.
Vanilla git diff vs git and diff-so-fancy
Installation is as simple as downloading the diff-so-fancy script to a directory in your path
diff-so-fancy is also available from NPM, Nix, brew, and as a package on Arch Linux.
Configure git to use diff-so-fancy for all diff output:
config --global core.pager "diff-so-fancy | less --tabs=4 -RFX"
The default Git colors are not optimal. We suggest the following colors instead.
config --global color.ui true
config --global color.diff-highlight.oldNormal "red bold"
config --global color.diff-highlight.oldHighlight "red bold 52"
config --global color.diff-highlight.newNormal "green bold"
config --global color.diff-highlight.newHighlight "green bold 22"
config --global color.diff.meta "yellow"
config --global color.diff.frag "magenta bold"
config --global color.diff.commit "yellow bold"
config --global color.diff.old "red bold"
config --global color.diff.new "green bold"
config --global color.diff.whitespace "red reverse"
Should the first block of an empty line be colored. (Default: true)
config --bool --global diff-so-fancy.markEmptyLines false
Simplify git header chunks to a more human readable format. (Default: true)
config --bool --global diff-so-fancy.changeHunkIndicators false
Should the pesky + or - at line-start be removed. (Default: true)
config --bool --global diff-so-fancy.stripLeadingSymbols false
By default the separator for the file header uses Unicode line drawing characters. If this is causing output errors on your terminal set this to false to use ASCII characters instead. (Default: true)
config --bool --global diff-so-fancy.useUnicodeRuler false
Pull requests are quite welcome, and should target the next branch. We are also looking for any feedback or ideas on how to make diff-so-fancy even better.
