Hi Richard,
Maybe not exactly what you`re looking for, but "Git" v2.15.0 introduced
"--color-moved"[1]
<https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff#git-diff---color-movedltmodegt> option
for "git diff"[2] <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-diff>. For a quick example,
you could use it like this:
git -c color.diff.newMoved=white -c color.diff.oldMoved=white diff
--color-moved
... where you can specify color of your diff context/unchanged lines in
case they`re not white. You may also try with "--color-moved=plain" and see
which one works better for you (default is "zebra", see documentation for
more details).
This will still show you +/- inside diff for moved lines as well, but only
changed/added/deleted lines will actually be colored, making them clearly
stand out (moved lines appearing as context lines, if you set the same
context color as explained above).
Regards,
Buga
