git diff | diff_highlight | less
```

## Features

* Supports streaming input and output
## How to use
This gem provides the `diff_highlight` executable. Just install the gem and the executable should be available :)
Use as follows: `git diff | diff_highlight | less`
Or setup a git alias:
In `~/.gitconfig`:

[alias]
diffc="!f() { git diff $@ | diff_highlight | less; }; f"
```

```
git diffc HEAD~2
```
