delta (sometimes packaged as git-delta) deserves a mention. I use it with this git configuration:
[core]
# --inspect-raw-lines=false fixes issue where some added lines appear in bold blue without green background
# default minus-style is 'normal auto'
pager = "delta --inspect-raw-lines=false --minus-style='syntax #400000' --plus-style='syntax #004000' --minus-emph-style='normal #a00000' --plus-emph-style='normal #00a000' --line-buffer-size=48 --max-line-distance=0.8"
[interactive]
diffFilter = "delta --inspect-raw-lines=false --color-only --minus-style='syntax #400000' --plus-style='syntax #004000' --minus-emph-style='normal #a00000' --plus-emph-style='normal #00a000' --line-buffer-size=48 --max-line-distance=0.8"
[delta]
navigate = true # use n and N to move between diff sections
light = false # set to true if you're in a terminal w/ a light background color (e.g. the default macOS terminal)
[merge]
conflictstyle = diff3
You know what, when I started the list I had delta but when I searched for it I got a different tool that didn't look right so I removed it, added this one back. Thanks for the added config!
