gh-f VS difftastic

If you are into github CLI extensions, check out the ultimate fzf git extension: gh-f (unrelated to neovim, but shamelessy I am the author).

I deal with most of my git workflow from terminal simply because I find git to be easiest to use from the command line, where each command is verbose enough for you to understand what you are doing, and so is its output. Lately, with the introduction of the gh CLI things have gotten even easier, and all the workflow of branches, PRs, releases, runs and so forth is easily handled via command line as well: I wrote gh-f, an extension that integrates gh with fzf and you're good to go at the speed of light.

You may want to check out gh-f, where most of the functions/alias shown in the videos are packaged as gh CLI extension.

Nice, wasn't aware of that. Enjoying looking at the code underneath https://github.com/gennaro-tedesco/gh-f/blob/master/gh-f

You can do all of that in one go with gh-f :)

gh cli with some gh extensions, like gh-f, gh-s, and gh-i, can get you most of the way there

Another feature added to gh-f: grep regex pattern through revision history. What about that piece of code you deleted, and now you want to quickly check the old revision file to copy and paste? Say no more: prompt for regex pattern, choose the file name, browse the revision history with preview and show the old file containing the piece of code you are after!

Check out the bundle: - gh-i (this one) - gh-s (search for repos interactively) - gh-f (snap around your git workflow with fzf)

Semantic Diff is probably the closest for now, although I don't think it uses tree-sitter.

Found via https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/194.

Yes there is an `—-override` option you can use to specify the language in which a file should be parsed.

Use the fantastic difftastic instead of git's diff. https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/

difftastic provides similar capabilities in a free tool based on treesitter

difftastic? https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic

Looks very similar to the treesitter based difftastic, which seems to support more languages and a less problematic business model.

If you're looking for a VS Code extension or a GitHub app, check out https://semanticdiff.com/. I'm a co-founder of this project.

If you prefer a CLI tool, check out https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic. It supports more languages, but doesn't recognize when code has been replaced by an equivalent version ("invariances"). So it will show some changes (e.g. replacing a character in a string with an escape sequence) even though they are technically equivalent.
