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?
