README

        
This Emacs package provides a minor mode which configures [Magit](https://github.com/magit/magit) to use [delta](https://github.com/dandavison/delta) when displaying diffs.

1. Install [delta](https://github.com/dandavison/delta).

2. Install magit-delta from [MELPA](https://melpa.org/#/getting-started).

3. Use `M-x magit-delta-mode` to toggle between using delta, and normal magit behavior.

   To activate it automatically:

    ```emacs-lisp

    (add-hook 'magit-mode-hook (lambda () (magit-delta-mode +1)))

    ```

    

    Or with `use-package`

    ```emacs-lisp

    (use-package magit-delta

      :hook (magit-mode . magit-delta-mode))

    ```







  

If you run emacs as a terminal application (`emacs -nw`) and colors are not being rendered correctly, then follow the instructions here: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/efaq/Colors-on-a-TTY.html.
