The price, is infinity times cheaper. Also terminal based means it can run on remote machines or local.

#15Looks like the author has also written magit integration for it: https://github.com/dandavison/magit-delta
Any user feedback on how it is (perf etc) ?

#16i knew git could use arbitrary diff filter but never realised it was this simple to use. This looks very nice. The related? project "bat" also looks interesting.
bat is great. I end up doing
curl … | prettier --parser html | bat
to get not-ugly HTML output from curl.

#17I want to like this having used regular `git diff` tool with colours, but this is just too busy.

#19The thing that prevents me from using delta is lack of "system" theme detection. Can't set it up and forget and mismatching theme with shell makes it really difficult to read.

It will use whatever `bat` theme is set. Bat itself doesn't do system theme detection, but it's easy enough to do in a script - I have one that gets called when my system theme changes where I set themes for various programs. Looks like this for dark mode:
#!/usr/bin/fish
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme "Adwaita-dark"
fish_config theme choose "ayu Mirage"
yes | fish_config theme save
echo "--theme=OneHalfDark" > ~/.config/bat/config
kitten themes --reload-in=all "Ayu Mirage"
