File Diff using the Patience Diff algorithm

Patdiff - colored patience diffs with word-level refinement

Patdiff is an OCaml implementation of Bram Cohen's patience diff algorithm, with a few extra conveniences for comparing code and config files:

outputs plain ASCII, ANSI color codes, or HTML

optional semantic diffing of numbers

good word-level diffing out of the box

And of course all the usual features:

• recursive diffing of directories
• extensively configurable output (markers, colors, location format, context)
• whitespace-aware diffing
