A wrapper function makes these one-off commands more convenient:
```sh
# add to ~/.bashrc
gitt() {
GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF=difft git $1 --ext-diff $@[2,-1]
}
```

Then use `gitt` instead of `git`:
```
$ gitt diff
$ gitt log -p
$ gitt show e96a7241760319
```

If you want to use difftastic by default, use `git config`.
