phpstorm:files:diff

View the differences between two files.
$ phpstorm diff ${path/to/left_file} ${path/to/right_file}
try on your machine

This command is used in PHPStorm, which is an integrated development environment (IDE) for PHP. It allows you to compare and find differences between two files.

The command starts with phpstorm diff, which is a command to compare two files using PHPStorm. The command takes two file paths as arguments - left_file and right_file.

${path/to/left_file} is the placeholder for the file path of the left file that you want to compare. You will need to replace ${path/to/left_file} with the actual file path.

${path/to/right_file} is the placeholder for the file path of the right file that you want to compare. You will need to replace ${path/to/right_file} with the actual file path.

When you run this command, PHPStorm will open a comparison window that displays the differences between the two files. This is useful for finding and debugging issues in your code.
