Support difftastic for diff viewing

[ceddlyburge]

Hi There, I'm using GitUp and its great. I love the keyboard shortcuts. You get the speed of the command line (or better) and much better visualisations.

Anyway, I've started using Difftastic on the command line, which is also excellent, and I'm wondering if there could be an option to use it?

There are already some promising looking options in the Advanced tab of the preferences ...

Thanks, Cedd

There is an option to use the same tool configured in the git CLI (might be called difftool). Does selecting that option work for you? Sometimes there are custom configurations that are required but we'd like to avoid them if possible.

Thanks Lucas. Is this the "External Diff: ", "Git Tool" option?

[lucasderraugh]

That would be it, any luck?

Hi Lucas, that isn't doing what I was hoping, but maybe I have set things up wrong.

The output in GitUp is different to the output when I do git diff on the command line.

I assume that I would expect it to be the same (when using the "External Diff: ", "Git Tool" option)?

Thanks, Cedd

Ah, you mean for regular diff viewing and not for conflict resolution. I'd have to look into it more.
