diff-so-fancy has been designed to work within Git controlled directories. To allow to use it to compare files that are not controlled by Git the --no-index option of git-diff can be used.

The script should pipe the output to less using the options

  • -R, --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS to only display ANSI "color" escape sequences in "raw" form
  • -F, --quit-if-one-screen to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen.
  • -X, --no-init to disable sending the termcap (de)initialization strings to the terminal to avoid unnecessary operations like clearing the screen.
  • -x2, --tabs=n to use two tab stops.
