Per 'git-diff' cli options for delta

[ldelossa]

Hello.

My common case is to use delta with line numbers on.
However, this means I can't copy and paste from git diff.

Is it possible to funnel arguments to delta via git diff in anyway?

Here is my solution:

You can turn line-numbers off per invocation like so, if you are always having it on in your config.

git -c delta.line-numbers=false diff

Hi @ldelossa and @raisedadead. In addition to what @raisedadead suggested, here's my personal current solution:

delta-toggle() {
    eval "export DELTA_FEATURES=$(-delta-features-toggle $1 | tee /dev/stderr)"
}

where -delta-features-toggle is https://github.com/dandavison/tools/blob/main/python/-delta-features-toggle.

So

delta-toggle    # shows current features
delta-toggle s  # toggles side-by-side
delta-toggle l  # toggles line-numbers

Nice!
