3. hdiff

   2 1 76 0.0 Haskell

   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! :)

4. wordle

   3 1 123 0.0 Rust

   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...)

5. helpful

   4 34 1,161 4.3 Emacs Lisp

   A better Emacs *help* buffer

   

   This is written by the same guy who wrote Helpful, an enhancement package for the Emacs Help buffer. I highly recommend checking out Helpful if you haven’t seen it. https://github.com/Wilfred/helpful

6. deadgrep

   5 11 740 6.6 Emacs Lisp

   fast, friendly searching with ripgrep and Emacs

   

7. tree-sitter

   6 69 20,025 9.8 Rust

   An incremental parsing system for programming tools

   

8. json-ordered-tidy

   7 1 1 10.0 Go

   A fancy JSON tidier that can arbitrarily order object keys

   

   I wrote a tool that tidies JSON and can do things like re-orders keys in a fixed order - https://github.com/ActiveState/json-ordered-tidy

10. json-diff

    8 1 1,166 1.2 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.

11. delta

    9 100 25,688 8.8 Rust

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

    

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

12. ydiff

    10 2 887 9.0 Python

    View colored, incremental diff in workspace or from stdin, side by side and auto paged.

    

    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
