About:
Riff is a command-line diff tool that provides side-by-side comparison of files and directories. It highlights changes at the word level within lines, making it easier to pinpoint exactly what has been modified. The tool is designed to be a more visual and informative alternative to standard diff utilities.
Key Features:
  • Word-level diff highlighting within lines
  • Side-by-side column view for comparisons
  • Support for both file and directory diffs
  • Color-coded output for better readability
Use Cases:
  • Reviewing code changes in pull requests locally
  • Comparing configuration files to spot subtle differences
  • Analyzing changes in log files or structured text
Alternatives:
  • diff – Standard Unix tool, lacks side-by-side and word-level highlighting by default
  • git diff – Git's built-in diff, often requires configuration for side-by-side views
  • delta – Similar modern diff tool with a focus on Git integration and aesthetics
