diffoscope

diffoscope is a tool for generating diffs of just about anything (files, archives or directories).

Creating diffs for GitHub

diffoscope first_file second_file --markdown diff.md # --exclude-directory-metadata

This may need some manual cleanup depending on the actual diff produced.

Diffing the depends directory

Diffing depends directories after changing the build process, i.e #15844.

Depends is built once, and moved to x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0-master. Then the PR is merged, and depends is rebuilt.

diffoscope x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0-master/lib x86_64-apple-darwin18.5.0/lib --markdown - | sed -e 's/^[ ^t]*//' -e '1,/@@/d' -e '/## stat {}/,$d' > diff.txt

cat diff.txt
