diff

How do I compare two .jar files? Both of them have compiled .class files. I want the difference in terms of method changes, etc. JAPICC , sample usage: japi-compliance-checker OLD.jar NEW.jar Sample reports for log4j: http://abi-laboratory.pro/java/tracker/timeline/log4j/ PkgDiff , sample usage: pkgdiff OLD.jar NEW.jar See sample report for args4j. Clirr , sample usage: java -jar clirr-core-0.6-uber.jar -o OLD.jar -n NEW.jar Rename .jar to .zip Extract Decompile class files with jad Recursive diff If you select two files in IntellijIdea and press Ctrl + D then it will show you the diff. I use

I'm looking for a diff equivalent written in JavaScript that only returns/prints relevant lines. I don't want both full text displayed next to each other with the differences highlighted, but just want the actual differences (plus some buffer lines to know where the difference is), similar to the output from the linux diff utility. Does anybody know a javascript function that does this? All differences should be recognized (even changed whitespace). Thanks. jsdifflib inline mode comparison, try tweaking the context size to display just the desired window of change you want. There's a demo here

I'd like to script, preferably in rake, the following actions into a single command: Get the version of my local git repository. Git pull the latest code. Git diff from the version I extracted in step #1 to what is now in my local repository. In other words, I want to get the latest code form the central repository and immediately generate a diff of what's changed since the last time I pulled. You could do this fairly simply with refspecs. git pull origin git diff @{1}.. That will give you a diff of the current branch as it existed before and after the pull. Note that if the pull doesn't

I am trying to exclude a file ( db/irrelevant.php ) from a Git diff. I have tried putting a file in the db subdirectory called .gitattributes with the line irrelevant.php -diff and I have also tried creating a file called .git/info/attributes containing db/irrelevant.php . In all cases, the db/irrelevant.php file is included in the diff as a Git binary patch. What I want is for the changes to that file to be ignore by the diff command. What am I doing wrong? Mr_and_Mrs_D Omg, drivers and awk to exclude a lousy file ? Since git 1.9 something you can: git diff -- . ':(exclude)db/irrelevant.php'

When I do git diff COMMIT I see the changes between that commit and HEAD (as far as I know), but I would like to see the changes that were made by that single commit. I haven't found any obvious options on diff / log that will give me that output. Nevik Rehnel To see the diff for a particular COMMIT hash: git diff COMMIT~ COMMIT will show you the difference between that COMMIT 's ancestor and the COMMIT . See the man pages for git diff for details about the command and gitrevisions about the ~ notation and its friends. Alternatively, git show COMMIT will do something very similar. (The commit

I was looking for a definition of "hunk" while reading some git documentation. I know it means a description of the difference between two files and that it has a well defined format, but I couldn't call to mind a succinct definition. I tried searching with google, but there were a lot of somewhat spurious hits. And eventually I found this: When comparing two files, diff finds sequences of lines common to both files, interspersed with groups of differing lines called hunks. here: http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_node/Hunks.html Which was exactly the kind of succinct definition
