Problem Statement
Similarly to git I think it would be really cool if one could configure a diff tool that is being used by claude-code.
Colorized syntax and function name before every major chunk and more...
Proposed Solution
Config setting to allow to set diff tool and/or a pager.
Ideally I'd like to use things like delta: https://github.com/dandavison/delta
Alternative Solutions
Better syntax highlighting in diffs and class/function name before every major chunk.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
Developer tools/SDK
Use Case Example
Any code change that I review presents me a diff but
but the format is different from what I used to from git diff and modern diff tools...
Additional Context
Please see tools like delta
