I had tried `delta` a few years ago but eventually went with `diff-so-fancy`[1]

The two are kind of similar if I remember correctly, and both offer a lot of config options to change the style and more. I mostly use it for diffs involving long lines since it highlights changes within a line, which makes it easier to spot such edits.

I have an alias set in `~/.gitconfig` to pipe the output of `git diff` (with options) to `diff-so-fancy` with `git diffs`:

    diffs = "!f() { git diff $@ | diff-so-fancy; }; f"
