pip install git+https://github.com/jeffkaufman/icdiff.git ##Usage
icdiff [options] left_file right_fileShow differences between files in a two column view.
--version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit --cols=COLS specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Unix only --encoding=ENCODING specify the file encoding; defaults to utf8 --head=HEAD consider only the first N lines of each file --highlight color by changing the background color instead of the foreground color. Very fast, ugly, displays all changes -L LABELS, --label=LABELS override file labels with arbitrary tags. Use twice, one for each file --line-numbers generate output with line numbers --no-bold use non-bold colors; recommended for with solarized --no-headers don't label the left and right sides with their file names --output-encoding=OUTPUT_ENCODING specify the output encoding; defaults to utf8 --recursive recursively compare subdirectories --show-all-spaces color all non-matching whitespace including that which is not needed for drawing the eye to changes. Slow, ugly, displays all changes --tabsize=TABSIZE tab stop spacing -u, --patch generate patch. This is always true, and only exists for compatibility -U NUM, --unified=NUM, --numlines=NUM how many lines of context to print; can't be combined with --whole-file --whole-file show the whole file instead of just changed lines and context To see what it looks like, try:
git difftool --extcmd icdiffTo install this as a tool you can use with git, copy git-icdiff onto your path and run:
git icdiffTo try it out, run:
svn diff --diff-cmd icdiff./test.sh python2 ./test.sh python3This file is derived from difflib.HtmlDiff which is under the license. I release my changes here under the same license. This is GPL compatible.
