colordiff

A wrapper around diff that produces the same output but with pretty syntax highlighting. Color schemes can be customized. More information: https://github.com/kimmel/colordiff.

• Compare files:

colordiff file1 file2

• Output in two columns:

colordiff -y file1 file2

• Ignore case differences in file contents:

colordiff -i file1 file2

• Report when two files are the same:

colordiff -s file1 file2

• Ignore whitespace:

colordiff -w file1 file2
