What is Riff?
Riff - A Difference Filter Highlighting Which Parts of a Line Have Changed
Riff is a wrapper for diff that not only highlights which lines have changed but also which parts of the lines have been altered.
### Usage
Pipe git diff into Riff:
```
git diff | riff
```
Or, if you prefer...
```
git config --global pager.diff riff
git config --global pager.show riff
```
...then all future `git diff` and `git show` commands will be enhanced with Riff.
