gifdiff: Check if GIFs differ.
$ gifdiff --brief ${path-to-first-gif} ${path-to-second-gif}
try on your machine
The command "gifdiff --brief ${path-to-first-gif} ${path-to-second-gif}" is used to compare two GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) image files and determine if they are different. Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "gifdiff": This is the command itself, which is usually a tool or program installed on your system to perform GIF comparisons.
- "--brief": This is an option or flag that modifies the behavior of the "gifdiff" command. In this case, it specifies that the command should produce a brief output, providing only a summary of the differences between the two GIF files.
- "${path-to-first-gif}": This is a placeholder indicating the path to the first GIF file you want to compare. You need to replace "${path-to-first-gif}" with the actual file path/location of your first GIF image.
- "${path-to-second-gif}": This is another placeholder indicating the path to the second GIF file you want to compare. Similarly, you need to replace "${path-to-second-gif}" with the actual file path/location of your second GIF image.
By running this command in a terminal or command prompt, the "gifdiff" tool will analyze the two specified GIF files and display a brief report highlighting the differences between them.
