delta

delta is a syntax highlighting pager for Git, diff and grep output. It makes diffs easier to read while keeping the layout close to the default output.

delta sits between Git and your terminal and reformats the output of git diff, git log and grep. It colors code by language and can show line numbers and side by side views. Styles, layouts and themes are set in a config file, and you can keep the output close to the standard format if you prefer. It also has support for merge conflicts and git blame.

• Syntax coloring for many languages
• Line numbers for diffs
• Side by side view
• Themes and custom styles
• Works with Git, diff and grep output

delta suits developers who review diffs in the terminal every day and want them easier to scan. It is also helpful for people who work with long diffs or many file changes.

delta is MIT licensed and free to use. It is set up as a Git pager in your configuration file, and the project documents the options it supports. Some terminal color settings affect how it looks, so test it in your own terminal.
