Colored DIFF to HTML

Colorize your diff and save the colorized output HTML for non shell users 😉

Required tools:

Install colordiff

sudo apt install colordiff

Get ansi2html.sh

wget https://github.com/lanbugs/scripts/blob/master/scripts/ansi2html.sh
chmod 700 ansi2html.sh

Make a colorized diff

diff -bur core1.txt core2.txt | colordiff

You should see a colorized diff on the shell

Now let convert the ansi colored output to HTML …

diff -bur core1.txt core2.txt | colordiff | ./ansi2html.sh > /mnt/c/temp/diff.html

The ansi2html.sh script now created an HTML file which you can open in the browser now.
