How do I get it to do side-by-side?

[Alex N]

I followed the instructions from the README:

npm install -g git-split-diffs

git config --global core.pager "git-split-diffs --color | less -RFX"

But I don't see side-by-side diffs.

git version:

git version 2.31.1

os version:

The default behavior is that on narrow windows, we revert back to unified diffs because split diffs are hard to read if your window is too narrow: https://github.com/banga/git-split-diffs#narrow-terminals. If you want, you can disable this:

git config split-diffs.min-line-width 0

Thanks a lot!
