cargo install giff

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/bahdotsh/giff.git
cd giff && cargo build --release

giff                        # uncommitted changes vs HEAD
giff main feature-branch    # diff between two refs
giff main                   # diff ref against working tree
giff --theme light          # override theme
giff -d "--stat"            # pass custom git diff args
giff --auto-rebase          # auto-rebase if behind upstream

Scroll wheel works in both the file list and diff panes.
