ratatui-diff
A navigable unified and split diff widget for Ratatui. Show text comparisons or Git patches with line numbers, word highlights, folding, search, and source-accurate selection.
[dependencies]ratatui-diff = "0.1"Unified or split
Switch layouts without losing your place. Wrap long lines, show whitespace, hide numbers, and choose a theme. See Appearance.
Built for review
Jump by hunk or file, search source, fold files and unchanged context, and keep the current file header visible. See Navigation and Folding.
Exact source
Selection copies the original bytes, never gutters or padding. Hit-testing maps terminal cells back to file, side, line, and byte. See Selection.
Optional syntax colors
Enable the syntax feature for bundled grammars and themes, composed underneath diff styling.
See Syntax colors.
You own the app
Rendering depends only on ratatui-core. Your application keeps terminal setup, key bindings,
files, and repository access.
