New CLI tool Confdiff diffs config files by meaning, not text, and hides secrets
Confdiff is a command-line and browser-based tool that compares JSON, YAML, TOML, INI, .env, properties, CSV and XML files by parsing them into a data model rather than comparing raw text. This lets it ignore cosmetic changes like key reordering, reformatting or added comments while flagging genuine differences, including type changes such as a number becoming a string. A --redact flag masks secret values with stable fingerprints so teams can see that credentials changed without exposing the actual values in a PR or CI log.
