news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-08-02 00:51:19

diffsitter Disclaimer diffsitter is very much a work in progress and nowhere close to production ready (yet). Contributions are always welcome! Summary diffsitter creates semantically meaningful diffs that ignore formatting differences like spacing. It does so by computing a diff on the AST (abstract syntax tree) of a file rather than computing the diff on the text contents of the file. diffsitter uses the parsers from the tree-sitter project to parse source code.

I can prepare a container image contents using skopeo. However, I need to build the genuine Linux kernel, preferably on my daily driver: macOS.
