Git - Color words excluding {}

Question

I am using git with --color-words to view my diff. In my diff, it shows that I removed

{{ljcount}}   Changes
<         


        

Answer 1

From git help diff:

   --word-diff-regex=
       Use  to decide what a word is, instead of considering runs of non-whitespace to be a word. Also implies
       --word-diff unless it was already enabled.

The following expression will make a word be any string of characters and underscore, or any non-whitespace character.

$ git diff --color-words --word-diff-regex='\\w+|[^[:space:]]'
