We observed the same behavior. Each request used a different IP address and a random user agent. In our case, most of the IP addresses belonged to Chinese ISPs. They went to great lengths to avoid being blocked, but at the same time used us

> However at a minimum formatting changes shouldn’t regularly complicate doing a diff. If the code needs to be reformatted, this should be done in a separate commit. Fortunately, there are now structural/semantic diff tools availabl

Difftastic would not solve the issue described by madeofpalk because it still highlights the added comma. You need a diff tool that can distinguish between optional and required syntax. So far I am not aware of any tool that supports this,

Our parsers simply return the concrete syntax trees in a JSON format. We do not unify all the different syntax constructs into a common AST if that is what you are looking for. The languages and file formats we support are too diverse for t

> - for diffing, the matching of the leaves is what matters the most, for merging the internal nodes are more important, The leaves are the ones that end up being highlighted in the diff, but the inner nodes play an important role as wel

I don't think that different algorithms are better for merging or diffing. In both cases, the first step is to match identical nodes, and the quality of the final result depends heavily on this step. The main problem with GumTree is th

Looking at the architecture, they will probably run into some issues. We are doing something similar with SemanticDiff [1] and also started out using tree-sitter grammars for parsing and GumTree for matching. Both choices turned out to be p

You can find a comparison of the two tools here: https://semanticdiff.com/blog/semanticdiff-vs-difftastic/ As author of SemanticDiff, I am obviously a bit biased. But Wilfred, the author of difftastic, found the a

The VS Code extension works offline. The diff calculation is performed on the host where the VS Code GUI is running (makes a difference in case of SSH/Docker/WSL).

Hi, author of SemanticDiff here. I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience testing the tool. If it doesn't work / makes things worse than a standard diff, that's definitely considered a bug. It is probably somethi

There are some tools that can separate actual code changes from reformatting changes. I am working on https://semanticdiff.com , a VS Code Extension / GitHub App that can help you with this. There is also difftastic if you p

I think LLMs will have a hard time replacing traditional diff algorithms. You want your diff to be reliable and predictable. It shouldn't omit relevant changes. This is not really a strength of LLMs. I think a system that parses the co

I am working on a GitHub pull request viewer that displays changes using a semantic diff, and therefore has some more advanced whitespace handling behavior than just ignoring leading or trailing whitespace. I tried it with this PR: https:&

We are working on a code review tool which supports unified diffs with semantic diffing. If that sounds interesting for you, take a look at https://mergeboard.com
