Better diff'ing experience
an idea by MSirringhaus
Updated 6 months ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 1 follower. Has no hacker: grab it!

Description

For diff-ing directories, I usually like to use meld, but it struggles a lot with large trees. Experiment with writing a TUI meld-clone for diffing directories and files

Goals

Get first prototype going of a TUI that can show

  • diffs of text-files
  • diffs of directories.

Stretch goals

  • Themes
  • Filters (no whitespace, etc.)
  • Live config changes (Show/hide line numbers, etc.)

      Just a suggestion :-)

      
function vimdirdiff()
{
  # Shell-escape each path:
  DIR1=$(printf '%q' "$1"); shift
  DIR2=$(printf '%q' "$1"); shift
  vim $@ -c "DirDiff $DIR1 $DIR2"
}

        Thanks! I may have to resort to vim after all
