Git: remove leading plus/minus from lines in diff

Question

My question is rather simple, though I have had no luck finding an answer.

I\'d like to remove the leading plus/minus symbols from each line in git diff

Answer 1

The simple way I have seen is this.. Much easy to remember (The text format changes. So you need to know the code change)

git diff --color-words

Here is a way to make it default
If you are using linux add the following command to your ~/.bashrc file
Then you can use gitdiff without space as another command .

alias gitdiff='git diff --color-words'

Update:
To set alias directly through git config (Without the help of ~/.bashrc)

Thank you @dylankb for this.

Example: If you enter the command git config --global alias.ci commit;
then you can use git ci for rest of your life for committing!!

Happy Gitting :)
