DiffLib

DiffLib is a library of diffing functionality in C#; similar to the functionality provided by the Python diffing tools.

Getting started

Getting started with Git and GitHub

• People new to GitHub should consider using GitHub for Windows.
• If you decide not to use GHFW you will need to:
  1. Set up Git and connect to GitHub
  2. Fork the DiffLib repository
• Finally you should look into git - the simple guide

Rules for Our Git Repository

• We use "A successful Git branching model". What this means is that:
  • You need to branch off of the develop branch when creating new features or non-critical bug fixes.
  • Each logical unit of work must come from a single and unique branch:
    • A logical unit of work could be a set of related bugs or a feature.
    • You should wait for us to accept the pull request (or you can cancel it) before committing to that branch again.

License

DiffLib uses the BSD 3-clause license, which can be found in license.txt.

Additional Restrictions

• We only accept code that is compatible with the BSD license (essentially, MIT and Public Domain).
• Copying copy-left (GPL-style) code is strictly forbidden.

LCS Algorithms

• Patience Diff

Stability

• DiffLib lacks a good amount of unit tests.
