If I run git diff and have several files changed I find I get one long listing of the diffs with no clear separation between one diff and the next.

Is there any way to highlight the first line of a diff or have some visual marker between diff hunks?

  • you can always use git add -p to choose specific hunks Commented Feb 15, 2015 at 19:32

    Take a look at git difftool in combination with a graphical diff viewer like kompare or kdiff3. Commented Feb 15, 2015 at 19:44

The easiest way that I found is to use a difftool.

I use meld. To start using it properly:

  • install meld

  • configure meld as your default difftool

    git config --global diff.tool meld

  • navigate to a git repository and start digging

    git difftool

You will then see a diff for each file separately
