I work on a bioinformatics tool that produces large TSV files with many (~100) and long (~5-200 char) columns. Getting a whole line from a normal diff
is overwhelming. It's more important to have the exact column that changes.
Googling "csv-diff", "csvdiff", "tsv-diff", "tsvdiff" returned two maintained tools that seem quite decent and are moderately popular (100+ stars on Github):
- csv-diff: https://github.com/simonw/csv-diff (Python based, auto-detects separator, nice line-based output)
- csvdiff: https://github.com/aswinkarthik/csvdiff (Go based, standalone binary)
I was wondering if there are any other tools out there that I may have missed.
