Today I found myself chasing down differences between two build systems.
I want to simply paste the console output for the respective build commands and see where the differences lie. I quickly threw together a python script together to stitch a space tokenizer (line breaks are a bit irregular) with the venerable difflib, based on two simple text files.
However, a bit more interactivity would be nice - having to save into a file is really unnecessary, and I really just wanted to copy and paste things over into something I could also interact a bit with.
I found jsdifflib with a quick search, and it turns out it even has a nice visualization built-in. So, in a few hurried minutes, here goes - Online Diff Tool.
Happy diffing!
