SYNOPSIS
========
icdiff [*-options*] left_file right_file
git-icdiff [*git diff options*]
DESCRIPTION
===========
**icdiff** show differences between files in a colorful two column view.
**git-icdiff** is a wrapper around **git diff** that uses **icdiff** to show diffs.
OPTIONS
=======
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--cols=COLS specify the width of the screen. Autodetection is Unix only
--encoding=ENCODING specify the file encoding; defaults to utf8
-E MATCHER, --exclude-lines=MATCHER
Do not diff lines that match this regex. Not compatible with the 'line-numbers' option
--head=HEAD consider only the first N lines of each file
-H, --highlight color by changing the background color instead of the foreground color. Very fast, ugly, displays all changes
-L LABELS, --label=LABELS
override file labels with arbitrary tags. Use twice, one for each file
-N, --line-numbers generate output with line numbers. Not compatible with the 'exclude-lines' option.
--no-bold use non-bold colors; recommended for solarized
--no-headers don't label the left and right sides with their file names
--output-encoding=OUTPUT_ENCODING
specify the output encoding; defaults to utf8
-r, --recursive recursively compare subdirectories
--show-all-spaces color all non-matching whitespace including that which is not needed for drawing the eye to changes. Slow, ugly, displays all changes
--tabsize=TABSIZE tab stop spacing
-u, --patch generate patch. This is always true, and only exists for compatibility
-U NUM, --unified=NUM, --numlines=NUM
how many lines of context to print; can't be combined with --whole-file
-W, --whole-file show the whole file instead of just changed lines and context
--strip-trailing-cr strip any trailing carriage return at the end of an input line
--color-map=COLOR_MAP
choose which colors are used for which items. Default is --color-map='add:green_bold,change:yellow_bold,description:blue,meta:magenta,separator:blue,subtract:red_bold'. You don't have to override all of them: '--color-map=separator:white,description:cyan'
NOTE
====
It's highly recommended to use wide terminals with **icdiff**, for
instance 160 columns or more.
