Colordiff is an updated fork of artyom's 2022 colordiff Go port.
- Introduces stricter linter checks.
- Passes context to the subprocess.
- Reverts coloring to match the original kimmel 1991 colordiff.
- Adds Makefile for convenience.
Install Go programming language, then:
go install github.com/glenntam/colordiff@latestExactly the same as the original:
colordiff file1 file2
or
diff -u file1 file2 | colordiff
This Go version is distro/arch agnostic and can be installed without root. I needed to create this the moment I was on a remote machine without root access. My eyes would have gone blind without it.
