  a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩

• hdiff

  Hash-based Diffing for AST's

  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! :)

  Less time debugging, more time building. Scout APM allows you to find and fix performance issues with no hassle. Now with error monitoring and external services monitoring, Scout is a developer's best friend when it comes to application development.

  Wordle TUI in Rust (by conradludgate)

  Cargo is Rust's build tool/package manager and can be installed easily using rustup. But I would probably suggest the difftastic maintainers add some prebuilt binaries to the releases

  (I have an example workflow here if anyone from there is interested https://github.com/conradludgate/wordle/blob/main/.github/wo...)

• helpful

  14 834 4.8 Emacs Lisp

  A better Emacs *help* buffer

• json-diff

  1 801 7.3 CoffeeScript

  Structural diff for JSON files

  https://github.com/andreyvit/json-diff works really well for JSON diffing in my experience.

  It's more simplistic than difftastic though: it considers `1` and `[1]` to have nothing in common.

• delta

  26 14,640 9.4 Rust

  A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output

  Delta is a pager that does Syntax highliting, better diff highliting and improved outputs of existing git commands. Highly recommended.

• ydiff

  2 771 0.0 Python

  View colored, incremental diff in workspace or from stdin with side by side and auto pager support (Was "cdiff")

  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
