This software provides a means to visualize differences created by several version control systems.
QShowDiff is a software tool designed for easy visualization of diffs generated from various VCS (Version Control System) systems. The tool was created with the aim of offering a simple solution to view diffs, as other programs like KDiff3 or Kompare can be too complicated for such a basic task. By focusing on a single job, QShowDiff is designed to provide an efficient and easy-to-use tool for anyone who needs to visualize diffs quickly and without hassle.
QShowDiff does not compare two files or directories, but it provides an excellent visualization of diffs. For file comparison, there are many other programs out there that are better suited to the task. QShowDiff was created solely for the purpose of providing high-quality visual representations of diffs. This focus on a singular function makes it the perfect solution for anyone who wants to get the job done quickly and efficiently, without any unnecessary extras.
In addition to its simplicity, QShowDiff was designed to work with various version control systems. Its interface makes it easy to add support for new systems, with the aim of becoming a one-stop-shop for visualizing diffs from any VCS. This functionality makes it a valuable addition to any developer's tool kit.
Using QShowDiff is straightforward. The software takes only one argument: the type of VCS from which the diff is being visualized. The diff is read from standard input, making it flexible and easy to integrate with other systems.
There are a few examples of how to use QShowDiff available online. For example, to show the last changes in a git repository, simply run the command "git diff | qshowdiff git". Additionally, for visualizing any generated patch from SVN later on, type "svn diff > changes.patch $ cat changes.patch | qshowdiff svn".
Installing QShowDiff is also an easy process. Simply type "make" for compilation, or "sudo make install" to install the software to the /usr/local/bin directory. If you want to install the software to another location, type "sudo make DESTDIR=/path/to/dir install".
Overall, QShowDiff is an excellent tool that provides a simple and efficient way to visualize diffs. Its focus on this singular function makes it an ideal solution for developers and others who want to get the job done quickly and accurately. With support for various version control systems and easy installation, QShowDiff is a must-have in any software toolkit.
