pip install webdiff
Instead of running "git diff", run:
git webdiff
You can also start webdiff via:
git webdiff [args]
You can pass all the same arguments that you would to git diff
, e.g.
1234..5678
or HEAD
.
webdiff
can also be invoked directly to diff two directories or files:
webdiff <left_dir> <right_dir>
webdiff <left_file> <right_file>
You can also use webdiff
to view GitHub pull requests:
webdiff https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
webdiff #123 # if you're in a git repo with a github remote
This will download the files relevant to the Pull Request and run webdiff
.
If you run into GitHub API quota limits, you can set your credentials in a .githubrc
file:
user.login: yourusername
user.password: yourpassword
Make sure you chmod this file to only be readable by yourself. In the future we'll support Oauth.
