Colordiffs

==========

Colors for your git diffs

.. image:: colordiffs.png

Colordiffs is under development, things are bound to be broken.

If you would like to help out, start an issue or submit a pull request :)

Installation

============

::

    pip install colordiffs

How to run

==========

::

    git diff HEAD^ | colordiffs | less -r

explanation

1. ``git diff HEAD^`` gets a diff between the current and the previous commit

2. ``colordiffs`` reads a diff from stdin

3. ``less -r`` takes the output of colordiffs and uses ``less`` to page it, the ``-r`` is required to interpret the terminal escape codes

Requirements

============

::

    Python 2.x, 3.x

    Pygments

TODO

====

Support more kinds of `git diff` output. Right not it supports the most common `---` `+++` diffs, but if the diff is for a new file or deletion of file it breaks.
