Livediff is a lightweight Rust TUI companion to git diff for generators, refactors, migrations, formatters, and config edits. Why Livediff? git diff is great after the fact. Livediff shows what changes while another tool is still editing files . Use it when you want immediate feedback during: - code generators and template systems; - formatters, migrations, and codemods; - refactors that touch many files; - documentation or config generation; - terminal-first workflows where a GUI diff app is too heavy. Livediff does not replace Git. It complements git diff by turning file changes into a live terminal view. Quick start Monitor a specific path or ignore noisy files: Interactive web showcase Try the zero-install browser demo: socket7.github.io/Livediff It simulates the TUI, file changes, and real-time diff animations before you install anything. Features - Real-time monitoring — native OS filesystem events via notify . - Interactive TUI — terminal interface built with ratatui and crossterm . - Character-level diffs — precise added/removed highlights using similar . - Low idle footprint — event-driven redraws; no Electron or Node runtime. - Smart filtering — respects .gitignore and accepts custom glob ignores. - Zero-install preview — hosted interactive demo for quick evaluation.
