peter-diff
A Python CLI tool for side-by-side diffing of files and folders.
Installation
pip install -e .
OR
pip install peter-diff
Usage
Compare two files
peter-diff file1.txt file2.txt
Displays a side-by-side diff with line numbers. Changed characters within a line are highlighted. Identical files print same.
Compare two folders
peter-diff dir1/ dir2/
Displays a side-by-side tree view of both directories:
Status indicators:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| (none) | identical |
diff |
file differs |
← |
only in left folder |
→ |
only in right folder |
bin |
binary / unreadable, skipped |
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-o |
Only show differences — hide identical files/lines |
Publishing to PyPI
pip install build twine
python -m build
twine upload dist/*
When prompted, use __token__ as the username and your PyPI API token as the password.
To skip the prompt, create a ~/.pypirc file:
[pypi]
username = __token__
password = pypi-YOUR-TOKEN-HERE
Note: Bump the
versioninpyproject.tomlbefore each upload — PyPI rejects duplicate version numbers.
