git-delta
brew install git-delta
v0.19.2
MIT
Syntax-highlighting pager for git and diff output, written in Rust.
Why you might care
Drop-in replacement for your default git diff pager that adds color, line numbers, and side-by-side diffs with minimal setup. Faster and more visually intuitive than built-in diff pagers, particularly useful for reviewing code with complex whitespace or large changesets. Set as `core.pager` in git config to enable everywhere.
