Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
I find ydiff more useful, specially for the side-by-side output: https://github.com/ymattw/ydiff
I'm using it like "git-ydiff-s" script in my PATH to use "git ydiff-s":
#!/bin/sh

Meld is a visual diff and merge tool targeted at developers
On the terminal I find `ydiff -s --wrap --width=0` very good for a comprehensible side-by-side diff: https://github.com/ymattw/ydiff
I definded this wrapper script ~/bin/git-ydiff-s:
#!/bin/sh

Difftastic: A diff that understands syntax
I really like the idea of focusing on producing patches for human consumption. I studied the problem of merging AST-level patches during my PhD (https://github.com/VictorCMiraldo/hdiff) and can confirm: not simple! :)
What are some alternatives?
