The comment describes git-delta as a "Pager for git, diff, grep, and blame", but git-delta is primarily a syntax-highlighting pager for git, not for grep and blame. It's used to enhance git diff, git show, git log, and similar git commands. Consider updating the comment to be more accurate, such as "Syntax-highlighting pager for git diff and log".

# Pager for git, diff, grep, and blame

While git-delta is being installed, it's not configured to be used by git automatically. To make this feature useful out-of-the-box, you should configure it as the default pager for git.

You could add this configuration in a subsequent RUN command, for example, by appending it to the command on lines 112-116:

RUN ln -s /usr/bin/eza /usr/local/bin/ls \
    && ln -s /usr/bin/batcat /usr/local/bin/bat \
    && ln -s /usr/bin/fdfind /usr/local/bin/fd \
    && ln -s "$(dirname "$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$(which java)")")")" "${JAVA_HOME}" \
    && git config --global core.pager delta

This will ensure that users of the image benefit from git-delta without needing manual configuration.
