difftastic

a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩

difftastic demo

DESCRIPTION

Difftastic is a structural diff tool that compares files based on their syntax rather than just line-by-line text changes.
It supports over 30 programming languages and is compatible with Git, making it a powerful choice for understanding deep code changes.
When it encounters complex parse errors, it intelligently falls back to traditional line-oriented diffing to ensure accuracy.

INSTALLATION

$ brew install difftastic
