If anyone wants to make git diff use it:
$ git config --global diff.external difft

Neat, but I don't like how it highlight the entire like if I change just one character on that line.
Maybe there's a setting I'm missing, but I really like diff-so-fancy for legibility of changed lines.
For example if I've got like these changes:
***

difft shows me:

but diff-so-fancy shows me:

Imho it's easier to read the pertinent info in the latter, where you've got that attractive word diffing on changed lines.
I do like the conditional side-by-side and unified diffing, though. That's huge.
