"diff-so-fancy" (1) has been designed to work within Git controlled directories. To allow to use it to compare files that are not controlled by Git the "--no-index" (2) option of "git-diff" has been used. The script pipes the output to "less" using the options * "-R, --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS" to only display ANSI "color" escape sequences in "raw" form * "-F, --quit-if-one-screen" to automatically exit if the entire file can be displayed on the first screen. * "-X, --no-init" to disable sending the termcap (de)initialization strings to the terminal to avoid unnecessary operations like clearing the screen. * "-x2, --tabs=2" to use two tab stops.
