color your word
I just discovered a [git]{tag/git} feature that has eluded me since v1.4.3, when it was
introduced. It’s a way to colour differing words in git diff
output. Maybe you don’t
know about it either… allow me demonstrate:
Let’s initialize a simple tree:
# git init
# echo some existing text > file
# git add file
# git commit -m"some commit" file
# echo some changed text and some new > file
So now we have a tree with a file that contains one word altered.
Here is a comparison of git-diff
with and without the --color-words
option:
