Software Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/4/2019 "Fancy diffs are easy diffs!" 5/5 What do you like best about Diff So Fancy? Diff-so-fancy makes git diffs more human readable by removing many extraneous symbols and using improved highlighting to display the same information. Btw, it's completely free to install and works on all OSes where git is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Diff So Fancy? Nothing to dislike. I guess if I had to pick one thing I'd pick that configuring it can be a little difficult because you have to use the git CLI to configure it, as it doesn't have it's own built in configurator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Diff So Fancy: Get everyone on the team to install it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Diff So Fancy solving and how is that benefiting you? The main business problem we are solving with this tool is improving code review speed.

Wireless Specialist Computer Software Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/14/2019 "Diffs are bad." 5/5 What do you like best about Diff So Fancy? We all hate merge conflicts. We also all love colorful interfaces. Well, here is the happy marriage of those two. Enjoy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Diff So Fancy? I wish it were actually integrated and natively supported rather than being a third party tool. It's a little hard to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Diff-So-Fancy is really a simple idea - make the code more human-readable as opposed to the 90;s esque font and spacing we normally see in systems. They accomplish this one simple task beautifully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Diff So Fancy? I wish I had something to put here but honestly every issue I have, whether it be trouble-shooting or a bug is usually caught by their own team by the time I log on to report it - and the files are then updated accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Diff So Fancy: give it a shot - some guys do honestly like the old version better because that's what they are used to seeing the language written in - but to each his own.

I love the word and character-level diff. By default, the git diff viewer only highlights all changed lines. The word-level diff makes it much more easier to see and understand the difference without having to decipher it ourselves. Also love all the customizable options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Diff So Fancy? Although the customizable options are very granular, configuring them is not user friendly.

Developer efficiency is extremely important - any tool that helps improve efficiency contributes to solving our business problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
