What git command, if any, does inline diff call? #2249

Closed hahuang65 closed 8 months ago

I'm trying to integrate https://dandavison.github.io/delta/ into git, such that fugitive uses it everywhere that it can.

However, I don't think that inline diffs is using it (pressing = on a file in the :Git status window.)

What command do the inline diff keys use to bring up the diff?

They use git diff --no-color, because the color is provided by Vim's syntax highlighting. delta uses ANSI escape sequences to provide highlighting, which Vim does not support, except in terminal buffers. So the closest you can get to delta support in Vim is to use a command that runs in a terminal. Here's one:

:Git -c pager.diff=delta diff

Got it, thank you, that makes sense.
