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 version in pyproject.toml before each upload — PyPI rejects duplicate version numbers.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.9
• No external dependencies
