#### Dual-pane file diff, hunk merger, folder compare, and patch/HTML exporter

Side by Side Differ is a dual-pane file and directory comparison tool for Linux
built on Python's difflib and filecmp engines. Inspect line and character-level
differences side by side, merge selected hunks in either direction, audit entire
folder trees, and export clean patches or HTML diff reports.

Key Features:

* Dual-Pane Line and Character Diff: Highlights added (green), removed (red), and
  modified (amber) lines with inline character-level change spans, synchronized
  scrollbars, hunk navigation, and bidirectional Left-to-Right / Right-to-Left
  hunk merging with file saving.
* Recursive Folder Compare: Compares two directory trees recursively using byte
  content verification, displaying identical, modified (size and mtime deltas),
  left-only, and right-only entries in a filterable tree table.
* Unified Patch and HTML Diff Exporter: Generates git-apply-ready unified .patch
  files (difflib.unified\_diff) and self-contained side-by-side .html diff reports
  (difflib.HtmlDiff).
