About the project

A content-aware diff tool that picks a type-specific algorithm per file (code via AST, images, fonts, PDFs, archives) and shows results in a TUI, browser, or headless mode. It integrates with git difftool and editors like VS Code and Neovim.

Useful for
  • Review a code change in the TUI with function context shown for each hunk
  • Wire OmniDiff into git difftool to replace the default diff viewer
  • Run headless mode in CI to get a plain-text diff or JSON output

2.7 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of November 1, 2026, 17:24 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

01020August 4, 2026November 1, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-11-01 (UTC), 16:33–17:23: 79 → 99 stars (+20). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +25 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Before this, the repository barely got any stars — about 0 per day.
  • Hacker News: “Show HN: OmniDiff – Opensource, super fast, content aware Git difftool, in Rust” — 20 points, 4 h ago.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 3. 0% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
