If you prefer to truncate them, update the `wrap-lines` setting:\n\n```\ngit config split-diffs.wrap-lines false\n```\n\n### Inline changes\n\nBy default, salient changes within lines are also highlighted:\n![Screenshot of inline changes](screenshots/inline-changes.png?raw=true)\n\nYou can disable this with the `highlight-line-changes` setting:\n\n```\ngit config split-diffs.highlight-line-changes false\n```\n\n### Enable scrolling in the terminal\n\n```sh\ngit config --global core.pager \"git-split-diffs --color | less -+LFX\"\n```\n\n(note the difference from the main configuration with the added `+` to the `less` command)\n\n### Syntax highlighting\n\nSyntax highlighting is supported via [shiki](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki/), which uses the same grammars and themes as vscode. Each theme specifies a default syntax highlighting theme to use, which can be overridden by:\n\n```\ngit config split-diffs.syntax-highlighting-theme \u003cname\u003e\n```\n\nThe supported syntax highlighting themes are listed at https://github.com/shikijs/textmate-grammars-themes/tree/main/packages/tm-themes#tm-themes\n\nYou can disable syntax highlighting by setting the name to empty:\n\n```\ng",
