diff coloring

oguzyildizz opened this issue · 3 comments

I think it it would be nice to have diff colors similar to helm diff, currently the entire output looks green

Depending on the did tool you have configured, adding the option --plain helps. Though I believe for the did command kubecolor should never overwrite the colour, so the issue stays valid

Let's discuss this in #117

@hidetatz In my opinion this is not connected to an overall colour schema.

kubectl diff always displays the output of an external tool which means that kubecolor should never interfere with the colorization that tool may or may not do.

FYI the relevant excerpt of of kubectl diff --help:

Diff configurations specified by file name or stdin between the current online configuration, and the configuration as it would be if applied.

 The output is always YAML.

 KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF environment variable can be used to select your own diff command. Users can use external commands with params too, example: KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF="colordiff -N -u"

 By default, the "diff" command available in your path will be run with the "-u" (unified diff) and "-N" (treat absent files as empty) options.
