It is the same as `--color=never`.
+--color-moved[=<mode>]::
+ Moved lines of code are colored differently.
+ifdef::git-diff[]
+ It can be changed by the `diff.colorMoved` configuration setting.
+endif::git-diff[]
+ The <mode> defaults to 'no' if the option is not given
+ and to 'zebra' if the option with no mode is given.
+ The mode must be one of:
++
+--
+no::
+ Moved lines are not highlighted.
+default::
+ Is a synonym for `zebra`. This may change to a more sensible mode
+ in the future.
+plain::
+ Any line that is added in one location and was removed
+ in another location will be colored with 'color.diff.newMoved'.
+ Similarly 'color.diff.oldMoved' will be used for removed lines
+ that are added somewhere else in the diff. This mode picks up any
+ moved line, but it is not very useful in a review to determine
+ if a block of code was moved without permutation.
+zebra::
+ Blocks of moved text of at least 20 alphanumeric characters
+ are detected greedily. The detected blocks are
+ painted using either the 'color.diff.{old,new}Moved' color or
+ 'color.diff.{old,new}MovedAlternative'. The change between
+ the two colors indicates that a new block was detected.
+dimmed_zebra::
+ Similar to 'zebra', but additional dimming of uninteresting parts
+ of moved code is performed. The bordering lines of two adjacent
+ blocks are considered interesting, the rest is uninteresting.

--word-diff[=<mode>]::
Show a word diff, using the <mode> to delimit changed words.
By default, words are delimited by whitespace; see
with --exit-code.
--ws-error-highlight=<kind>::
- Highlight whitespace errors on lines specified by <kind>
- in the color specified by `color.diff.whitespace`. <kind>
- is a comma separated list of `old`, `new`, `context`. When
- this option is not given, only whitespace errors in `new`
- lines are highlighted. E.g. `--ws-error-highlight=new,old`
- highlights whitespace errors on both deleted and added lines.
- `all` can be used as a short-hand for `old,new,context`.
- The `diff.wsErrorHighlight` configuration variable can be
- used to specify the default behaviour.
+ Highlight whitespace errors in the `context`, `old` or `new`
+ lines of the diff. Multiple values are separated by comma,
+ `none` resets previous values, `default` reset the list to
+ `new` and `all` is a shorthand for `old,new,context`. When
+ this option is not given, and the configuration variable
+ `diff.wsErrorHighlight` is not set, only whitespace errors in
+ `new` lines are highlighted. The whitespace errors are colored
+ whith `color.diff.whitespace`.
