Code Compare vs delta

Code Compare has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

delta is a free, open-source pager for Git and related command-line output, including diffs, grep, ripgrep JSON, and blame. It can show diffs side by side with line numbers and automatic wrapping, and highlight edits within lines using a Levenshtein edit inference algorithm. Its syntax themes are the ones available with bat. Delta can be configured as Git’s pager and interactive diff filter, and its documentation covers zdiff3 for merge conflicts. It can highlight output from ripgrep, git grep, and grep; blame and diff hyperlinks can target GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut, and Codeberg. The manual also describes integrations with Magit, VS Code, tmux, and GNU Screen. Executables are offered for Linux glibc, Linux musl, macOS, and Windows, alongside package-manager installation instructions. Paging depends on less, for which the project recommends a reasonably recent version. The project includes the MIT License. The listed git-delta plan costs nothing.
