Diff-Tool is an innovative utility designed for contrasting two text files, providing a detailed, user-friendly visualization of differences. The tool generates an HTML file highlighting the discrepancies, enabling users to navigate and understand changes efficiently. This functionality is particularly beneficial for reviewing extensive files or SQL queries, streamlining the creation of seed files.
- Intuitive Interface: Highlights differences in a color-coded format.
- Navigation Aid: Scroll through changes using navigational prompts.
- Change Log Download: Offers the option to download a record of alterations.
- Seed File Generation: Simplifies the creation of seed files based on the differences noted.
- Python 3.x
- Any modern web browser (for viewing the output HTML)
Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/KaelSM/diff-tool.git
To compare two files and view the differences in the console:
ython3 diff_tool.py oldText.txt newText.txt
To generate an HTML file that visualizes the differences:
python3 diff_tool.py oldText.txt newText.txt --html output.html
Open the generated output.html in a web browser to view the highlighted differences.
- Implement a split-view display for side-by-side text comparison.
- Introduce interactive text highlights to pinpoint differences.
- Add scrollable buttons for seamless navigation through changes.
- Enable the download of a comprehensive change log.
- Incorporate navigational buttons to jump between changes.
- Facilitate the generation of seed files from identified differences.
