Change github diff to be side by side comparison?

Question

For github web browsing, it is not shown as side by side as lots of diff tool does. Can I change the diff mode to side by side? I mean on the github web.

Answer 1

Github web does not have the feature yet.

You might be interested in term based diff tool cdiff, it has an option -s to yield side-by-side diff.

To view changes not submitted yet, type

cdiff -s

To view change history in your workspace, type

cdiff -ls

To view changes from a pull request, pipe in the raw diff from the url, for example:

curl https://github.com/ymattw/cdiff/pull/11.diff | cdiff -s
