View *.diff files with syntax colours
I create a diff file with git diff.
Then I'd like to view it in PHPStorm but I don't see any syntax colours, even though *.diff files are associated to diff/patch.
Even if I create a patch as described https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.1/creating-patches.html?origin=old_help
And I open the patch file I don't see any colours.
What am I missing?
