Delta aims to make this both efficient and enjoyable: it allows you to make extensive changes to the layout and styling of diffs, as well as allowing you to stay arbitrarily close to the default git/diff output. #### Delta's main features are: - Language syntax highlighting with color themes - Within-line highlights based on a Levenshtein edit inference algorithm -- Style (foreground color, background color, font attributes) can be configured independently for more than 20 different sections of the diff -- Stylable box/line decorations to draw attention to commit, file and hunk header sections. +- Git style strings (foreground color, background color, font attributes) are supported for >20 stylable elements - Side-by-side view - Line numbering -- `--diff-highlight` and `--diff-so-fancy` emulation modes +- `diff-highlight` and `diff-so-fancy` emulation modes +- Stylable box/line decorations to draw attention to commit, file and hunk header sections. - Code can be copied directly from the diff (`-/+` markers are removed by default). - `n` and `N` keybindings to move between files in large diffs, and between diffs in `log -p` views (`--navigate`) @@ -66,12 +66,14 @@ Contents * [Using Delta with Magit](#using-delta-with-magit) * [Comparisons with other tools](#comparisons-with-other-tools) * [Build delta from source](#build-delta-from-source) -* [Credit](#credit) -* [Projects using delta](#projects-using-delta) +* [Related projects](#related-projects) + * [Used by delta](#used-by-delta) + * [Using delta](#using-delta) + * [Similar projects](#similar-projects) * [Full --help output](#full---help-output) * [Delta configs used in screenshots](#delta-configs-used-in-screenshots) * [Side-by-side view](#side-by-side-view-1) - + Here's what `git show` can look like with git configured to use delta: |
