GUI tools based on imara-diff?

[tredondo]

This seems like a great diff library (along with similar perhaps), but are there any GUI diff tools out there actually using it? Meld is horribly slow.

Actually, GitButler is using it, and gitui is ramping up to do the same (even though TUI might not count.
And that's only the ones I know of.

@Byron. Thanks. I installed GitButler but it seems pretty monolithic, integrated with Git, and opinionated (need to have pushed to a a remote to be able to use it).

I'm just looking to diff arbitrary files. gitbutler-tauri diff insists on a file being committed. Is there some syntax to just diff any given files?

[Byron]

Right, then I think GitButler just isn't for you yet. Maybe you could hook up a diff tool yourself that fits your needs? With imara-diff 0.2 and the unified diff printer it should be quite straightforward.
