Option to only a digest with just the paths to the changes and what changed

Open AdaRoseCannon opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

When diffing huge files with large maps instead of reading through the whole file it would be great to get a list with the path and what changed such as:

web->javascript->api->abortSignal->chrome                false->"100.0"
web->javascript->api->[sreviceWorker->serviceWorker]     no value changes

so at a glace I can see that the right things changed

I don't know of any tool that does it already nor, any other tool that builds up the internal data structures so it could make such a list.

This is a good idea. In the mean time, is Graphtage’s -e option sufficient?

Maybe if we add the full path to the output of -e?

-e is kind of giving me a wall of information, it seems to be a reduced view of the data which is great but unfortunately doesn't have the information I need.

Version 0.2.7 has a new --edit-digest / -d option that I believe does what you want.
