# Better Diffs With Delta
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
A `git diff` from the command line is relatively bare bones. It shows you
|
|
||||||
removed lines and added lines that make up a changeset with the former text in
|
|
||||||
red and the later text in green. All other contextual text is in white. I've
|
|
||||||
found this to be good enough for most of the life of my git usage. I've been
|
|
||||||
missing out though.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
By using [`delta`](https://github.com/dandavison/delta) as the pager and diff
|
|
||||||
filter for `git`, I get a bunch of nice visual improvements.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Removals and additions are red and green shaded backgrounds
|
|
||||||
- Syntax highlighting for most languages
|
|
||||||
- Highlight specific part of a line that has changed
|
|
||||||
- Visual spacing and layout is clearer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
To get all of this, all I had to do was install `delta`:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```bash
|
|
||||||
$ brew install delta
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And then add `delta` as both the _core_ pager and `diffFilter` in my global git
|
|
||||||
config file:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
[core]
|
|
||||||
pager = delta
|
|
||||||
[interactive]
|
|
||||||
singleKey = true # unrelated, but nice to have
|
|
||||||
diffFilter = delta --color-only
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It's also recommended that you use `zdiff3` for your merge conflict style,
|
|
||||||
which I already had:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
[merge]
|
|
||||||
conflictstyle = zdiff3
|
|
||||||
```
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you have ths all configred, try a `git diff` or `git add --patch` and see
|
|
||||||
how much more visual info you get.
