Visual and interactive comparison of two files or directories. It is
written as a console application using ncurses (it is a Julia port of a
Ruby app "rdelta"). It can use the ncurses bindings in TextUserInterfaces
or in Ncurses.
To start the application, you can either:
in the REPL
using VisualDiff
vdiff("xxx","yyy")
where "xxx" and "yyy" are two files or two directories to compare. In each case you get a window where help is available with "F1" of "h" or from the menu.
Or from the command line, using the file vdiff that you have made executable
and whose contents are
using VisualDiff
VisualDiff.main(ARGS...)
do then
julia vdiff xxx yyy
The program upon first use makes a configuration file ~/.vdiff whose
syntax should be evident, which can be updated by the options menu within
VisualDiff.
