colordiff: Ignore white spaces.
$ colordiff -w ${file1} ${file2}
try on your machine

The command "colordiff" is a tool used for comparing and displaying the differences between two text files.

"-w" is an option in colordiff that ignores all white space differences. This means that when comparing lines between file1 and file2, any differences in white spaces (such as spaces or tabs) will be ignored in the output.

"${file1}" and "${file2}" are parameters that represent the paths or names of the two files you want to compare. You should replace "${file1}" and "${file2}" with the actual paths or names of the files you want to compare.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
