Full Changelog: https://github.com/so-fancy/diff-so-fancy/compare/v1.4.3...v1.4.4

This is a maintenance release. This code was already "released" but wasn't official on Github. This just makes it official on Github.

This is a bugfix release related to specific color strings people may have in their ~/.gitconfig that diff-so-fancy didn't recognize.

This is the "QuickSilver" release as it's main focus is speed, speed, speed. Previously diff-so-fancy did a lot of shelling out to read the git config (5+ per invocation). This slowed down start up and was a personal pet peeve of mine. After much tweaking we've decreased the startup time by more than 60%.
