Trying to let Delta work together with Mercurial (hg)

[dahlia]

I tried to use Delta for Mercurial (hg) besides Git, and apparently it pretty works well! The following .hgrc settings enable Mercurial to work together with Mercurial:

[extensions]
hgext.extdiff =

[extdiff]
cmd.delta =

[alias]
diff = delta

Note that I declared cmd.delta using extdiff first and then made an alias hg diff for hg delta. At my first attempt, I did one-shot configuration instead like cmd.diff = delta, but it turned out that Mercurial repeated the below warning:

extension 'extdiff' overrides commands: diff

While, aliasing to hg diff command warned nothing, so I settled in this workaround.

Haven't tried it yet, but the docs suggest to add delta to the [pager] section of .hgrc

Using delta as a pager doesn't work well, because then Mercurial uses it for all commands, not just hg diff. The solution based on extdiff seems to work much better. 👍
