Questions

Git Diff Viewer FAQ

Can I compare files that aren't in git format?
The tool specifically accepts unified diff output generated by git diff; other diff formats may not render with proper syntax highlighting and line numbers.
What's the difference between inline and side-by-side views?
Side-by-side view clearly shows character-level differences in modified lines, ideal for small code reviews, while inline view is better for understanding the flow of large refactors where lines move between functions.
Does the tool process my diff data on a server?
No, everything runs in your browser; your diff data never leaves your device.
How do I ignore whitespace changes in my diffs?
Use `git diff -w` to ignore whitespace changes, or configure your diff viewer to collapse whitespace-only diffs to avoid burying actual logic changes.
