Improved colored diff
Put icdiff on your PATH.
##Usage
icdiff [options] left_file right_fileShow differences between files in a two column view.
-h, --help show this help message and exit --cols=COLS specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Linux only --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 --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 --numlines=NUMLINES how many lines of context to print; can't be combined with --whole-file --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 --version print version and exit --whole-file show the whole file instead of just changed lines and context To see what it looks like, try:
