Let's say I had this file with these contents:
One two three
And let's say I modified this file to look like this:
One TWO three
A typical diff output would be:
- One two three
+ One TWO three
However, Git offers options like --color-words
or --word-diff=color
to show this difference in one line, colouring the word deleted in red and colourig the word added in green:
Does Mercurial have an option like this? Something like hg diff --color-words
?
Add this to your ~/.hgrc file:
[diff]
word-diff = true
This effects the command-line hg diff
command. In modified lines, added or removed characters will be underlined.
Unfortunately, it seems TortoiseHG (on MS Windows) does not recognize this setting.
