✨ NAME ✨

diff2php — bestie, this little icon transforms a patch into a self-serving PHP file 💅

🎀 SYNTAX 🎀

diff2php file

yeah that's it. one argument. no notes. ✨

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so imagine you have a patch and you're like "girl, I need this to be a whole website" — that's literally the assignment. 🦋

diff2php takes one file, and it creates a PHP file out of that patch. and here's the slay part: that PHP file is self-serving — like, it's giving main character energy, it serves itself, no extra help needed. 👑

so when someone views that PHP file, it does one of two things, depending on what they want:

  • it serves the patch as colored HTML when it's being viewed, so your patch is looking cute and readable, highlighted and all 🌈
  • OR it serves the patch as raw text/plain for downloading, so anyone can just grab it as a plain file 📥

and that's the whole vibe check. patch goes in, self-serving PHP file comes out. ate. 💖
