Difftastic: A syntactic diff tool
This with the UI from https://github.com/banga/git-split-diffs would make the perfect CLI diff tool!

Ask HN: Tools you have made for yourself?
I wrote https://github.com/banga/git-split-diffs mainly to scratch an itch about not having side by side git diffs in the terminal, then ended up adding more fancy features like syntax highlighting and it got somewhat popular.

Show HN: GitHub style split diffs with syntax highlighting in your terminal
I actually tried to automate the screenshots for this project's readme using GitHub actions, but struggled to get it to produce the same quality screenshots as my local machine. This is the script I use for now, which has to be invoked manually: https://github.com/banga/git-split-diffs/blob/main/scripts/g...

Difftastic, a structural diff tool that understands syntax
The diff itself is impressive, but in terms of styling I still prefer diff-so-fancy[1]. It's easier to read at a glance.

How to improve the readability of diffs? Preferably in Terminal, but a desktop application would be acceptable too
I don't have much hope for this being improved anytime soon in diff-so-fancy given this issue, so I'm wondering if there's something else I can use in Terminal that would allow me to have an experience like GitLab. If that's not possible and I have to rely on a desktop application, that would be acceptable too.

Git Learnt
This is actually one that's really easy to write and remember but I hate typing and I run it all the time, so I've aliased it down to gd for git-diff. Also I use diff-so-fancy to make the output of my diffs look frickin sweet and I suggest you do the same.

diff: can I increase highlighting of a file name?
I recommend a tool like diff-so-fancy with some custom colors. You will never want to go back to vanilla diffs.

TIL: diff-so-fancy; and some funky git config
I just discovered diff-so-fancy, and very nice it is too. I immediately added it to my standard git config, which is semi-automatically installed on every machine I use. However, I've not (yet) installed diff-so-fancy on all the machines I use, and for those platforms for which it's not packaged I probably won't bother installing it from source.
