About:
A command-line tool that enhances the standard git diff output by displaying changes in a side-by-side layout with syntax highlighting. It improves code review and change inspection directly in the terminal by making differences more visually distinct and readable.
Key Features:
  • Side-by-side diff view
  • Syntax highlighting for multiple languages
  • Seamless integration with git commands
  • Terminal-based, no GUI required
  • Customizable color schemes and layout
Use Cases:
  • Code review and change inspection in the terminal
  • Comparing file versions in a git repository without leaving the command line
Alternatives:
  • delta – Also a syntax-highlighting pager for git, but focuses on inline diffs rather than side-by-side layout.
  • diff-so-fancy – Enhances git diff readability with a more polished inline output, but does not provide a side-by-side view.
