Looks very useful, but incredibly obnoxious that it overrides default git diff. And the only way to get the regular git diff output is to uninstall it? There is no way I would ever want to do that.

sem doesn't override git diff, it's a completely separate command (sem diff). Your regular git diff should work exactly as it always has after installing sem.

If you want to change your git diff default behavior then you can do sem setup.

That’s not clear at all from the docs. It shouldn’t be called “setup” then. Even after doing sem setup there should be a CLI flag to get the default diff output without unsetting up. Very annoying hijack.

sorry if you consider that as hijack, it was just a user's request to use this as default plugin on their git. But I will add it to let the users know thanks for the feedback
