  • delta

    A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

    Since newer diff algorithms are merged into vim and there are tools specifically designed for diffing two files, I wonder what is the best vimdiff option? Here is mine: vim " vimdiff configs if has("patch-8.1.0360") set diffopt=filler,internal,algorithm:histogram,indent-heuristic endif There is also delta which seem to have a smarter algorithm. Is there a way to use delta in vim instead?
