This project is a library/utility that finds the difference between two files. The library can work with data formats such as: JSON, YAML, YML. You can also see the result of the comparison in the terminal in different output formats, for example: stylish, plain, json. The default format is stylish. If the files do not exist, the library will inform you.

Downloading the utility and installing dependencies:

cd php-project-48
make install

Give the binary file execution rights:

sudo chmod +x bin/gendiff

To use the utility, run the binary file and specify the output format (stylish by default). Also pass the paths to the two files you need:

bin/gendiff --format=stylish file1.json file2.json

You can also choose the second output format plain:

bin/gendiff --format=plain file1.json file2.json

Instead of the flag --format, you can use the short version -f.
