Structured diff tool that compares files based on their syntax
Difftastic is a structural diff tool that compares files based on their syntax.
Difftastic supports over 30 programming languages. If a file has an unrecognised extension, difftastic uses a textual diff with word highlighting.
Difftastic output is intended for human consumption, and it does not generate patches that you can apply later. Use diff if you need a patch.
To use the difftastic snap as an external diff tool with git, it should be invoked as:
TMPDIR=~/tmp GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF="difftastic" git diff
| Revision | Channel | Version | Build | Commit |
|---|
The build and commit information is derived from build infrastructure records.
