🐛 How to use with difftool? IE how to stage changes after reviewing them? #1382
Description
I'm trying to switch from vimdiff to delta, but I'm having trouble with this simple and common use case (code review) :
- I've changed a bunch of files.
- I run difftool to see a side-by-side diff of the changes of each file I've changed.
- If I like the changes, I can run
git addfrom within the interface in some way. - I can also see my staged changes if I want, before I run
git commit
Is there any flow / way to do this using delta?

Hi @dessalines, this question is about using Delta with Vim -- is that correct?
I haven't looked into that myself; others have but I'm not sure what the state of the art is. In case it helps as a reminder -- Delta itself is a command line tool that takes in git/diff/grep output and outputs a reformatted version colorized (incl. syntax highlighting) using ANSI escape sequences.
I'll convert this to a Discussion since AIUI it is Vim-specific rather than a Delta bug/feature request, although if it gives rise to a Delta feature request that's great. (All the things you mention are possible with the Delta Magit integration).
