Rich Diff Checker - A Smarter Way to Diff
Compare 2 text files and find the real differences beyond just "additions" and "deletions".
By using the Commit Cruncher processing engine, our Rich Diff Checker translates text into a broader set of operations:
Features
Text Compare and Code Compare with Rich Diff
The Rich Diff Checker finds the differences between any two text files or code files and extracts the underlying operations.
| Diff Operation | Definition | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Addition | Brand new lines that are distinct, excluding lines that change an existing line (labeled "Updates"). |
|
| Deletion | Lines that are entirely removed from the file. |
|
| Update | A modification to an existing line by approximately three words or less. |
|
| Move | A line that is cut and pasted to a different place. |
|
| Copy/Paste | Identical line contents that are pasted to multiple places inside the file. |
|
| Find/Replace | A pattern of change where the same string is removed from 3+ locations and substituted with consistent replacement content. |
|
| No-Op | Trivial changes, such as changes to white space, newlines or changes in line number. |

-
🤖 AI summaries and completions
See changes distilled at a glance to speed up understanding and glean immediate context
-
🎯 Targets and Goals for Pull Requests
From Diff Delta limits (enforcing smaller PRs) to goals for review and delivery time
-
⏳ Never re-review changes unnecessarily
By default, GitClear only presents the changes to each file since you last saw it.
