pathdiff 1.0.0

A tool for detecting duplicate files and comparing directories.

pathdiff

Pathdiff is a tool for:

1. Detecting duplicate files in directories (Based on https://stackoverflow.com/a/36113168/300783)
2. Comparing directories for differences in structure and content

There are a number of alternative tools for both usecases, but this is a simple implementation that can be easily modified (unlike complex gui tools) and provides small conveniences like progress bars (unlike more basic command line tools like diff).
