How do I set up ccdiff as a diff-so-fancy work-alike?

daxim has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

This is a f'up to http://blogs.perl.org/users/dean/2019/06/diff-so-fancy-v126.html.

I have in my ~/.gitconfig:

[pager]
log =  diff-highlight | diff-so-fancy | less
show = diff-highlight | diff-so-fancy | less
diff = diff-highlight | diff-so-fancy | less
[download]

and it works fine, last changed in 2016-02. Any time I run git log/show/diff (also from git aliases), the diff output will be filtered through the pipeline above (screenshot).

I remembered ccdiff from a yapc and wanted to try it.

The naive approach of changing it to show = ccdiff | less doesn't work, this just shows the usage. Before I commit to a lot of trial and error, does anymonk have a working set-up for ccdiff as a filter?

I don't want to run git difftool, I want run git show/diff.	[reply]

That is what the docs show. After those commands, you can do `git ccdiff` instead of `git diff`. Otherwise I do not understand your question. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
