sebastian/diff

Diff implementation for PHP, factored out of PHPUnit into a stand-alone component.

Installation

You can add this library as a local, per-project dependency to your project using Composer:

composer require sebastian/diff

If you only need this library during development, for instance to run your project's test suite, then you should add it as a development-time dependency:

composer require --dev sebastian/diff

Usage

The Differ class can be used to generate a textual representation of the difference between two strings:

use SebastianBergmann\Diff\Differ;

$differ = new Differ;
print $differ->diff('foo', 'bar');

The code above yields the output below:

--- Original
+++ New
@@ @@
-foo
+bar

The Parser class can be used to parse a unified diff into an object graph:

use SebastianBergmann\Diff\Parser;
use SebastianBergmann\Git;

$git = new Git('/usr/local/src/money');

$diff = $git->getDiff(
  '948a1a07768d8edd10dcefa8315c1cbeffb31833',
  'c07a373d2399f3e686234c4f7f088d635eb9641b'
);

$parser = new Parser;

print_r($parser->parse($diff));

The code above yields the output below:
