svn diff filename | colordiff | less -R
I like to browse my diffs, so I pipe colordiff's output to less. The -R option is important to make less properly display the colors generated by colordiff. I wrote a bash function (in my .bashrc file) for myself so I don't have to type this junk repeatedly:function svndiff () { svn diff $@ | colordiff | less -SR; }
(notice the missing space.) So instead of typing a command with two pipes, I just typesvndiff filenames
and I get the benefits of colordiff.diff-cmd=colordiff
