Subject: gitk: how to apply '--color-words' to the diff command
Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:18:53 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47DEC41D.9050409@dirk.my1.cc> (raw)
Hello,
a few days ago I found a patch for gitk that adds a checkbox 'Ignore
space change' to the gitk GUI and -- when clicked -- adds the '-w'
switch to the diff command. I found that a very convenient way to see
'what has really changed'. The patch was contributed by Steffen Prohaska
and has sha1 b9b86007e27d9a06d58feab618a5be1d491ed13e in the
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git repository.
Inspired by this, I thought a '--color-words' switch would be even more
convenient. I took the patch as a template and kinda replaced all
occurences of '-w' with '--color-words' (do not take this literally).
Unfortunately gitk then shows the diffs not colorized but with those
ugly escape sequences instead. I'm not a Python person and just able to
'copy and waste', but probably some of you had the same idea and got it
right.
Dirk
