DYD

Daily diff.

This command line tool facilitates the viewing of git diffs across multiple projects, across multiple days. See what you're doing across teams, and across all the git repos your teams manage.

Installation

cargo install dyd

Configure git with a GUI difftool:

[diff]
  tool = Kaleidoscope
  guitool = Kaleidoscope
[difftool]
  prompt = false
[difftool "Kaleidoscope"]
  cmd = ksdiff --partial-changeset --relative-path \"$MERGED\" -- \"$LOCAL\" \"$REMOTE\"
[mergetool "Kaleidoscope"]
  cmd = ksdiff --merge --output \"$MERGED\" --base \"$BASE\" -- \"$LOCAL\" --snapshot \"$REMOTE\" --snapshot
  trustExitCode = true

Usage

Create a manifest file at dyd.toml with the following format:

since = "3 days ago"
#       "  ^^^^ days | weeks | months

## difftool = "my diff tool"

[remotes]

[remotes.dyd]
name = "DYD"
origin = "git@github.com:synchronal/dyd"

[remotes.tui]
name = "TUI"
origin = "git@github.com:fdehau/tui-rs"

• since - Must be in the format <N> <units> ago. Defaults to 1 week ago.
• difftool - Optional command to run in order to open a diff. Defaults to git difftool -g -y ${DIFF}.
  • Variables that will be interpolated into the command, and also made available in the difftool ENV. IMPORTANT: variables will only be replaced if they are in the format ${VAR}, including braces.
    • DIFF - in the format @{u}..HEAD.
    • ORIGIN - the origin used to check out the repository, ie git@github.com:<org>/<repo>(.git)?
    • REF_FROM - the sha of the earlier commit of the diff.
    • REF_TO - the sha of the more recent commit of the diff. HEAD.
• remotes - a list of remote repositories to clone and pull.

Ensure that your shell is authorized with the origin. DYD will not route input to the SSH agent.

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
