About:
diff-so-fancy is a tool that improves the readability of git diffs by removing noise and highlighting important changes. It leverages diff-highlight under the hood to show change blocks more clearly, making code reviews faster and more effective. The tool pipes standard git diff output and reformats it into a cleaner, more visually appealing presentation.
Key Features:
  • Clean, minimalist diff formatting that removes redundant metadata
  • Highlights word-level changes within lines using diff-highlight logic
  • Configurable color schemes and output styles
  • Works seamlessly with git aliases and existing workflows
Use Cases:
  • Improving readability of git diff output during code reviews
  • Enhancing terminal-based git workflows for developers
  • Standardizing diff output across team members
Alternatives:
  • delta – More feature-rich with side-by-side diffs and syntax highlighting, but heavier than diff-so-fancy
  • git diff --color-words – Built-in git option that provides word-level diffs but lacks the polished formatting
