diffnav

diffnav

A git diff pager based on delta but with a file tree, à la GitHub.

[!CAUTION] This is early in development, bugs are to be expected.

Feel free to open issues.

Demo

Installation

Homebrew:

brew install dlvhdr/formulae/diffnav

Go:

go install github.com/dlvhdr/diffnav@latest

[!NOTE] To get the icons to render properly you should download and install a Nerd font from https://www.nerdfonts.com/. Then, select that font as your font for the terminal.

You can install these with brew as well: brew install --cask font-<FONT NAME>-nerd-font

Usage

Pipe into diffnav

• git diff | diffnav
• gh pr diff https://github.com/dlvhdr/gh-dash/pull/447 | diffnav

Set up as global git diff pager

git config --global pager.diff diffnav

Configuration

• Currently you can configure diffnav only through delta so check out their docs.
• If you want the exact configuration I'm using - it can be found here.

Keys

Under the hood

diffnav uses:

• Bubble Tea for the TUI
• delta for viewing the diffed file

Screenshots use:

• kitty for the terminal
• tokyonight for the color scheme
• CommitMono for the font
