Git Diff Shows Reversed Colors/Indicators

Question

I am looking at my git diff and the lines are exactly reversed. New lines show with "-"s and red colors, and the removed lines show with "+"s and green colors.

+ deleted line [green]
- newline [red]

Nothing in my .gitconfig seems to indicate anything amiss.

Anyone ever seen this happen before? What did you do to fix? Thanks!

Answer 1

The direction of the diff is important: git diff A B will provide different output than git diff B A and the difference will be in reversing what was deleted and what was added.
