What is Text Diff?

A diff (short for difference) is a comparison between two texts that shows what has changed. Lines can be added, removed, or unchanged. Diff tools are essential for code review, document editing, and version control.

Common Use Cases

  • Code Review: See what changed between versions of code
  • Document Editing: Track changes in contracts, articles, or reports
  • Debugging: Compare working vs. broken versions of configuration
  • Plagiarism Detection: Find similarities between documents
  • Merge Conflicts: Understand conflicting changes

Understanding the Colors

Red / Removed: Lines that exist in the original but not in the modified text
Green / Added: Lines that exist in the modified but not in the original text
Gray / Unchanged: Lines that are identical in both texts
