Git: Diff tool to view entire file's changes on one screen (or zoom out)

Is it possible to "zoom out" far enough to view an entire file's diff using a Git difftool? I would like to view all changes to a file within one screenshot. Is this possible?

I tried using meld and kdiff3, but I could not find a "zoom out" feature for either.

You can do it using plain old git diff if you "zoom out" in your terminal. Be sure to enable color in the terminal for git by:

git config --global color.ui auto

Then do the usual git diff myfile or whatever. In some terminals, zoom is like a web browser: Ctrl-- and Ctrl-=.

In kdiff3 and probably meld, there should be a font size somewhere in the preferences too, but I don't have either in front of me to test it.
