Applies syntax highlighting to a git diff. Use as follows:
git diff | diff_highlight | less
Output:
- Makes its best guess at the language appearing in the diff and uses appropriate highlighter
- Supports Ruby, Javascript, C, YAML, Rakefiles, CSS, HTML, etc
- Supports multiple languages in the same diff
- Supports streaming input and output
This gem provides the diff_highlight executable. Just install the gem and the executable should be available :)
Use as follows: git diff | diff_highlight | less
Or setup a git alias:
In ~/.gitconfig:
[alias]
diffc="!f() { git diff $@ | diff_highlight | less; }; f"
And use like so:
git diffc HEAD~2
