Surely, "git diff --output-indicator-old=' ' --output-indicator-new=' '" exists for a reason, to allow users to customize the workflow for themselves. So this is adding a better short-hand instead of that, which feels a bit clunky. Sed workaround would likely work, but nicer to have it native inside git instead? I use Git from the CLI 99.99% of the time, and find myself often copy- pasting to recover some code from and old commit, so then this helps to save me pasting in and the manually removing the +/- signs. Not a huge deal, but makes the awesome Git CLI even better. Harald
I wondered why you’d be copying diffs without leading indicators; with that answered, perhaps you should try “git restore”? One benefit of version control is easily restoring other versions.
