Lockdiff

Convert a lock with lots of info to something more readable

For instance:

[[package]]
name = "foo"
version = "1.4"

becomes:

foo@1.4

Note that this works both with poetry.lock and Cargo.lock - both use toml with the same syntax :)

Using lockdiff with git

The primary purpose of this tool is to hide "noise" related to package changes in automatically generated files such as Cargo.lock when using with git diff and related commands.

For this to work, you need to register the 'lockdiff' in .gitattributes:

Cargo.lock diff=lockdiff

And have the following section in your git config:

[diff "lockdiff"]
textconv = lockdiff
