Structured diff tool that compares files based on their syntax

Difftastic is a structural diff tool that compares files based on their syntax.

Difftastic supports over 30 programming languages. If a file has an unrecognised extension, difftastic uses a textual diff with word highlighting.

Difftastic output is intended for human consumption, and it does not generate patches that you can apply later. Use diff if you need a patch.

To use the difftastic snap as an external diff tool with git, it should be invoked as:

 TMPDIR=~/tmp GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF="difftastic" git diff
