drawio-textconv

What is this?

This command-line tool gives you meaningful diffs for .drawio.svg and .drawio diagrams that you have checked into Git.

It plugs into Git’s textconv facility.

Why do I need this?

This tool will give you meaningful diff output if you regularly check draw.io diagrams into Git, especially diagrams with source embedded into SVG (.drawio.svg).

If you have no idea what this means, then this tool is probably not going to be useful to you.
