🚀 Override git config

[lucasoshiro]

Hi!

I noticed that, independently if I'm using Delta through Git or not, I always uses the options inside .gitconfig. This creates a strong dependency on how things are configured on each machine, so if I want to call Delta in another project it becomes unpredictable how it will behave.

I experienced it some days ago. I was using a tool that uses Delta and the developer was surprised that the output shows two columns in my setup (which is not optimal for the purpose of that tool). It happened because my .gitconfig has side-by-side activated. I tried to override it locally, but I couldn't find a --ignore-gitconfig, --default, not even a --no-side-by-side option!

My feature request here is that: a flag (or set of flags, or envinroment variables, etc) that resets the default config of Delta, so other tools may choose how Delta will behave independently of the git-config of the user.

Thanks!

Hi @lucasoshiro there's --no-gitconfig. Does that do what you need?

I'm sorry, I didn't find that! This will work!
