KW-DIFF(1)
π kw-diff β the Diff Tool β¨
okay bestie, welcome to kw-diff, a.k.a. the kw subcommand that makes diff actually fun to look at. it lives under the manual entry kw-diff, and it's giving glow-up energy for a command that's been around since forever. π¦
πΈ NAME πΈ
kw-diff β Diff tool β no cap, that's literally what it is. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
kw (df | diff) <file1> <file2> [--no-interactive] [--verbose]
so yeah, you call it as kw df or kw diff (both work, pick your vibe π), hand it two files, and optionally tack on --no-interactive and/or --verbose at the end like little accessories. π
π«Ά DESCRIPTION π«Ά
bestie listen. this is a wrapper around the diff command, bundling up some genuinely useful ways to use it. it does not reinvent the wheel, it just puts a cute lil outfit on it. π
by default? it shows diff files side-by-side in an interactive way. like, you get to actually look at your differences instead of squinting at a wall of < and > symbols. iconic behavior fr fr. πβ¨
and here's the plot twist π β if instead of files you pass it two directories, it flips modes and shows you which files are on <folder1> but not on <folder2>. so it's like a little detective for your folders. π
no, seriously, that directory mode is so handy when you're like "wait, what did i even put in here" π
π OPTIONS π
--no-interactiveβ turns off the whole interactive thing. instead of clicking/stepping through, it dumps all diff in two columns at once</star>. one shot, everything visible, no back-and-forth. for when you want the tea all at once. π--verboseβ verbose mode, babes! this makes thekwprogram spit out debug messages so you can track its progress. it's very useful during the debugging process, letting you spot possible errors way more easily. it's giving "narrator following you around narrating your life" energy and honestly? we love that for debugging. π§π
π that's a wrap π
this page came to you from the kw-diff - Diff tool() manual source, and it's the same kw-diff - Diff tool() situation at the bottom too β same name, same tool, same energy. go diff something, bestie, you got this. π
