What this tool does
A line diff shows exactly what changed between two versions of a file, config or article. This tool uses a longest-common-subsequence comparison, then marks added and removed lines. Options let you ignore trailing whitespace or letter case when those should not count as changes.
How to use it
- Paste the original and the new text.
- Set the ignore options if needed.
- Compare and copy the report.
Questions
Does it handle very large files?
It caps comparison work to keep the tab responsive. For large codebases use git diff, which is faster and smarter.
Why do similar lines show as replaced?
The comparison is line-based; each line is a unit. A tiny change inside a long line shows the whole line as changed.
