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

Code evolves, and we all spend time studying diffs. Delta aims to make this
both efficient and enjoyable: it allows you to make extensive changes to the
layout and styling of diffs, as well as allowing you to stay arbitrarily
close to the default git/diff output.

**Configuration**

Configure your git repository with

git config core.pager git-delta-snap.delta
git config interactive.diffFilter "git-delta-snap.delta --color-only"
git config delta.navigate true
git config delta.light false
git config merge.conflictstyle diff3
git config diff.colorMoved default

These settings can be applied globally by adding `--global`, i.e.

git config --global core.pager git-delta-snap.delta
