Is there a way to see diff output side-by-side? I personally find that much easier to parse through with a widescreen monitor.


Hi, thanks, this is an interesting question and there have been requests for it. Two possibilities come to mind:

1. Delta constructs the side-by-side diff itself (a parsed internal representation of it), and then colorizes it.

2. Delta gains the ability to parse side-by-side diffs being emitted by another tool.

My currently feeling is that (1) is more attractive / easier.


#1 would be useful for sure.
