Git diff output to file preserve coloring
Is it possible to do git diff and save the output to a file with the coloring somehow?
I know how to do git diff > filename.rtf - which saves to a file, but I'd like to preserve the coloring.
Solution 1:
Try:
git diff --color > foo.txt
Then later issue:
cat foo.txt
Or:
less -R foo.txt
Solution 2:
Save the file with a .diff extension and open it in Notepad++ or Vim or SublimeText.
git diff > 20150203_someChanges.diff
Thanks @Monsingor
Solution 3:
Open the output diff file in Sublime Text 2. It shows the diff colors.
