💖 NAME 💖

okay so gfadiff — she compares two GFA files. that's it. that's the whole job. bestie is a whole diff machine 🧚✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

gfadiff [-h] [-s] [-l] [-c] [-p] [-i] [-script] <gfa1> <gfa2>

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe, bestie 🌸 — if you pass a combo of -h, -s, -l, -c and/or -p, then only the records of the type(s) you specified get compared. like, she'll mind her own business about everything else, no cap.

the letter-to-record-type decoder ring 🎀:

  • h = headers
  • s = segments
  • l = links
  • c = containments
  • p = paths

and if you don't specify anything at all? the default is literally all of them: -h -s -l -c -p. full main-character energy, comparing every single thing 💅

🎀 OTHER OPTIONS 🎀

  • -i — output a message if the two files are identical. like, she'll actually tell you. iconic. ✨
  • -script — create a Ruby script to transform gfa1 into gfa2. ok that's genuinely so cool, she's not just pointing at the difference, she's handing you the glow-up instructions 🔥
