Difftastic — my new favourite diff viewer

This article discusses Difftastic, a diff viewer that offers a minimalistic, noise-free alternative to traditional git diff tools. The author, who previously used Delta, highlights how Difftastic ignores whitespace changes and focuses on meaningful code differences. It integrates seamlessly with git and LazyGit, respects terminal themes, and can be used as a standalone tool or pager. The article includes a code example showing a simple Go function change, demonstrating how Difftastic reduces clutter. It is a technical review relevant to developers and IT professionals.
