I like the output formatting of git diff. The color and the +/- representation of changes between lines is easier to read than GNU diff.

I can run git diff using --no-index flag outside of a Git repository, and it works fine. However, it appears to be missing the --exclude option for excluding files or subdirectories from a recursive diff.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? (color options and +/- format of git diff and --exclude option of GNU diff).

I've experimented with colordiff, but I still prefer the output format of git diff.

Active reading [<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git>]. Expanded. Fixed the question formation - missing auxiliary (or helping) verb - see e.g. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4yWEt0OSpg&t=1m49s> (see also <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS5NfSzXfrI> (QUASM)) - alternatively, drop the question mark
