* Package name : golang-github-hexops-gotextdiff Version : 1.0.3-1 Upstream Author : Hexops * URL : https://github.com/hexops/gotextdiff * License : BSD-3-clause Programming Lang: Go Description : Unified text diffing in Go (copy of gopls internal diffing) gotextdiff is a copy of the Go text diffing packages that the official Go language server gopls uses internally to generate unified diffs. . If you've previously tried to generate unified text diffs in Go (like the ones you see in Git and on GitHub), you may have found github.com/sergi/go-diff which is a Go port of Neil Fraser's google-diff-match-patch code - however it does not support unified diffs. . This is arguably one of the best (and most maintained) unified text diffing packages in Go as of at least 2020. . (All credit goes to the Go authors (http://tip.golang.org/AUTHORS), I am merely re-publishing their work so others can use it.) Reason for packaging: Required by golang-github-alecthomas-assert 2.2.0, which is required by golang-github-alecthomas-chroma-v2 2.4.0, which in turn is required by hugo 0.107.0 and up.
