That’s awesome. I wonder how it’d handle moving plus a small change.

Too bad GitHub doesn’t support it yet afaict. But at least it’s not all diff tools.

Most diff tools have an option to ignore leading or trailing whitespace changes.

I think OP meant moving a code block up or down in a file, not left or right

Yes, thank you. I probably should have been more clear

Me omw to shift the entire codebase to the right by one tab and claim authorship over every line in the project with a completely untraceable commit

I’m surprised that after almost 20 years of versioning C code, git still manages to assign the closing brace of a function wrongly.

Because text is text and all } are the same.

that’s not even a joke, I’m using intellij community as a merge and diff tool exclusively. it doesn’t support the language I want but even without it it’s better then anything else.

It doesn’t actually detect moved code, though, like git diff can? I gave it a shot and also there’s a couple issues open about it, e.g. https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/issues/520 .

Other than that, difftastic is quite nice.
