This post is useful in general, but just to circle back on its motivation, for anyone wanting a non-npm (brew) install of the aforementioned diff tool (diff-so-fancy, not made by me) - I've a PR pending merge - Homebrew/homebrew#49040 [0].

In the mean time, you can tap it:

    % brew tap OJFord/formulae
    % brew install diff-so-fancy
