This tool looks just what we need so I thought to kick the tires and look at the issue to understand any limitations. I noticed that folks are not reporting potential bugs with sample code. It is possible to configure the github repo with a template for issues. In that you can request that they supply a minimal example of the files to compare and the commandline. For example you can show them this sort of output as a valid bug report for folk to post:

± |master ?:27 ✗| → head a.csv b.csv 
==> a.csv <==
id,name,amount
1,bob,20
2,eva,63
3,sarah,7
4,jeff,19
6,fred,10

==> b.csv <==
id,name,amount
1,bob,20
2,eva,63
3,sarah,7
4,jeff,19
6,fred,10
