The command is colordiff -i ${file1} ${file2}
.
Here is the explanation of each part:
-
colordiff
: It is a command-line utility used for comparing two files and displaying the differences in color. It is an alternative to the traditionaldiff
command, providing a more visually appealing output. -
-i
: It is a flag or option for thecolordiff
command. In this case, it stands for "ignore case." When this flag is used, the comparison between the files is performed in a case-insensitive manner. That means any differences in capitalization will be ignored during the comparison. -
${file1}
and${file2}
: These are placeholder variables representing the paths or names of two files that you want to compare usingcolordiff
. You need to replace${file1}
with the actual path or name of the first file and${file2}
with the actual path or name of the second file.
So, when you run this command, colordiff
will compare the two specified files (${file1}
and ${file2}
) and display the differences in color, while ignoring any differences in capitalization.
