colordiff in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own colordiff package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so colordiff should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.

Commands in the package

  • colordiff
  • cdiff

Type one in Breadstick's Terminal to run it.

Text and data tools work on files and pipes in the Terminal as on any Linux system, including files in your Android folders once Device files is granted. More in the docs: The Terminal.

About colordiff

From Debian's package description

ColorDiff is a wrapper for the 'diff' command. It produces the same output as diff, but with colored highlighting to improve readability. The color schemes can be customized.

The output is similar to the syntax-highlighting mode of Vim or Emacs when editing a patch created by diff.

From Debian's description of the colordiff package, under that package's license.
