git diff -- show changed part in the line

Question

If I execute git diff I see the whole line in red color.

Is there a way to highlight the change in the line?

I often have a diff where just a single line got changed.

Highlighting the change in the line would make git diff more convenient for me.

git version 2.32.0

This should work on the command-line (no GUI).

For example, git diff --word-diff=color:

and git diff --word-diff=plain:

There's also --word-diff-regex=

See git help diff for more info.

If you're willing to use an extra tool, you may like diff-so-fancy and/or delta.

I used diff-so-fancy for years, and it's a great tool.
I switched to delta due to syntax highlight and the detection of multiple changes in a single line.
