diff-so-fancy

Descrição

diff-so-fancy is a terminal-based diff viewer that makes your diffs human-readable instead of machine-readable. It strips away the leading characters (+/-) and adds spacing for better readability. It works as a filter for git diff output, transforming it into something much easier to read.

Recursos principais

• Word-level diffs instead of line-level for better change visibility
• Clean output without + and - prefixes cluttering the view
• Seamless Git integration with simple configuration
• Customizable colors and formatting to match your preferences
• Works with any pager (less, more, etc.)
• Automatically detects and highlights moved code blocks
• Smart indentation preservation
