The CLI's first argument accepts the name of a known model, a local folder, or JSON describing a remote model. Currently it only supports Git, but a Python API is available for more advanced comparisons.

The capella-diff-tool can also generate a human-friendly report in HTML form. Use the -r / --report flag and specify a filename to write the HTML report:

capella-diff-tool coffee-machine index-links/base index-links/left -r coffee-machine.html
