# Custom Pagers
|
|
|
|
Lazygit supports custom pagers, [configured](/docs/Config.md) in the config.yml file (which can be opened by pressing `e` in the Status panel).
|
|
|
|
Support does not extend to Windows users, because we're making use of a package which doesn't have Windows support.
|
|
|
|
## Default:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
colorArg: always
|
|
useConfig: false
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
the `colorArg` key is for whether you want the `--color=always` arg in your `git diff` command. Some pagers want it set to `always`, others want it set to `never`.
|
|
|
|
## Delta:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
colorArg: always
|
|
pager: delta --dark --paging=never
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Diff-so-fancy
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
colorArg: always
|
|
pager: diff-so-fancy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## ydiff
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
gui:
|
|
sidePanelWidth: 0.2 # gives you more space to show things side-by-side
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
colorArg: never
|
|
pager: ydiff -p cat -s --wrap --width={{columnWidth}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be careful with this one, I think the homebrew and pip versions are behind master. I needed to directly download the ydiff script to get the no-pager functionality working.
|
|
|
|
## Using git config
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
colorArg: always
|
|
useConfig: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you set `useConfig: true`, lazygit will use whatever pager is specified in `$GIT_PAGER`, `$PAGER`, or your *git config*. If the pager ends with something like ` | less` we will strip that part out, because less doesn't play nice with our rendering approach. If the custom pager uses less under the hood, that will also break rendering (hence the `--paging=never` flag for the `delta` pager).
|
|
|
|
## Using external diff commands
|
|
|
|
Some diff tools can't work as a simple pager like the ones above do, because they need access to the entire diff, so just post-processing git's diff is not enough for them. The most notable example is probably [difftastic](https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk).
|
|
|
|
These can be used in lazygit by using the `externalDiffCommand` config; in the case of difftastic, that could be
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
externalDiffCommand: difft --color=always
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `colorArg`, `pager`, and `useConfig` options are not used in this case.
|
|
|
|
You can add whatever extra arguments you prefer for your difftool; for instance
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
git:
|
|
paging:
|
|
externalDiffCommand: difft --color=always --display=inline --syntax-highlight=off
|
|
```
