diff

I've been using bsdiff and i'm very happy with it, and I want to try Google's Courgette. It seems like a large effort to fetch/compile the entire Chromium project just to get that binary out. Does anyone know of a compiled version I can test out, or a fork that's easier to get? Jeremy Thompson I've tried all last night and today, grrhhhhh:( You can download Courgette src (without the entire Chromium) https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/courgette/+/master and then use GN and Ninja to build it (on a Win7 x64 with VS2013 SP4, that hops on one leg in an anti-clockwise motion, clicking

I want to have summary of difference between two files. Expected output is count of new, deleted and changed lines. Does diff readily provides such output? If not is there any script/utility available which helps in getting the summary. If you use diff -u it will generate a unified diff that has lines preceded with + and - . If you pipe that output through grep (to get only the + or - ) and then to wc you get the counts for the + es and the - es respectively. sigjuice I think you are looking for diffstat . Simply pipe the output of diff to diffstat and you should get something like this.

Are there any libraries in .Net to help compare and find differences between two json objects? I've found some solutions available for JavaScript, but nothing interesting for C#. The point of my question is to create json with changes marked in some way, based on the comparison. So that the user could see where the changes are. using Microsoft.XmlDiffPatch; using Newtonsoft.Json; Convert each json to xml and use MS XmlDiff libary. Available on nuget . Differences are given in another xml doc which here I write to the console. This is suitable for unit testing for example. public bool

Because git is designed for source code, its default diff algorithm treats a line as the minimum indivisible unit. I am trying to edit some markdown files that are word wrapped at column 80. Adding a sentence can cause the rest of the paragraph to be marked as changed. Is there a way to have Git use a diff algorithm more suited to text? I need one that treats words or sentences as indivisible units rather than lines? You might try git diff --word-diff instead. $ git diff --word-diff diff --git a/test.txt b/test.txt index 54585bb..a8cd97e 100644 --- a/test.txt +++ b/test.txt @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@

I have to do checks between a development and release database and do this manually, which is both slow and not 100% reliable (I only visually inspect the tables). Is there a quick and easy way to compare table schemas automatically? Maybe even a feature that does this built right into SQL server? Edit: I'm comparing structure only, thank you for pointing this out. I'm a fan of SQL DBDiff , which is an open source tool you can use to compare tables, views, functions, users, etc. of two instances of SQL Server databases and generate a change script between the source and destination databases.
