Is there a way to use diff-highlight with git gui?
The extra highlighted info is invaluable when comparing lines that only changed a bit, and while using diff-highlight from the terminal (described here: http://coderwall.com/p/ydluzg/better-git-diff) is great, when I'm trying to make sense of large changes, I really like using the gui.
It doesn't look like there's much of a way.
I tried editing the Additional diff parameters in the gui and hacking on something like | diff-highlight
, but that was no good.
Also worth noting: using --color-words
is not a good workaround.
First, it breaks git gui. Second, the diff output isn't nearly as easy to read as that of a normal diff processed through diff-highlight.
linux git git-gui

Set up a standalone diff/merge app. Like Beyond Compare: https://www.scootersoftware.com/support.php?zz=kb_vcs
or winmerge: https://coderwall.com/p/76wmzq/winmerge-as-git-difftool-on-windows , https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1881594/use-winmerge-inside-of-git-to-file-diff .
That will serve you much better. git-gui is a little Tcl/Tk afterthought app that's never going to get developed into anything more.
You can and also try to use one of the big IDE-s. Most of them know how to handle GIT and use their own diff modules.
