Git diff tool that shows a tree of changed files followed by their full content.
git-dump-diff is a verbose Git diagnostic tool. It shows a directory tree of changed files and the full content of added or updated files.
Unlike a standard diff that shows only line changes, this tool lets you see the entire file context. It is ideal for code reviews and auditing feature branches.
Features
Visual Tree: Shows affected files in a clear directory structure.
Full Content: Displays the complete final state of new or modified files.
Binary Safe: Detects and skips binary files to keep your terminal clean.
Pager Support: Works with less automatically for easy scrolling.
No Dependencies: Uses only standard Python libraries.
Prerequisites
Python 3.10+
Installation
uv tool (recommended)
uv tool install git-dump-diffpipx

--version: Show current version.
--help: Show help message.
