Deltabae: Delta Diff to HTML

Deltabae is a command line tool that generates a side-by-side, colored HTML diff of two text files using delta and ansifilter.

Requirements

To use Deltabae, you'll need to have both delta and ansifilter installed.

• delta
• ansifilter

Usage

You can use Deltabae by providing the names of the two files you want to compare. Here's a basic example:

deltabae.sh -f your_first_file -s your_second_file

This will generate a file named diff.html in the ./tmp directory.

Command Line Options

Deltabae accepts the following command line options:

• -f : Specifies the first file to compare (required).
• -s : Specifies the second file to compare (required).
• -o : Specifies the directory where the HTML output should be saved. If the directory doesn't exist, it will be created. Default is ./tmp.
• -n : Specifies the name of the output HTML file (without the .html extension). Default is diff.

For example, to compare file1.txt and file2.txt, output the result to the path/to/my-project/results directory, and name the output file my_diff.html, you would run:

deltabae.sh -f file1.txt -s file2.txt -o path/to/my-project/results -n my_diff
