patchutils in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own patchutils package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so patchutils 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

  • filterdiff
  • lsdiff
  • interdiff
  • combinediff
  • dehtmldiff
  • editdiff
  • espdiff
  • fixcvsdiff
  • flipdiff
  • gitdiff
  • gitdiffview
  • grepdiff
  • patchview
  • recountdiff
  • rediff
  • splitdiff
  • svndiff
  • svndiffview
  • unwrapdiff

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 patchutils

  • lsdiff shows which files are modified by a patch
  • recountdiff recomputes counts and offsets in unified context diffs
