Diffly

I am looking for someone to take over development of Diffly. If you are interested please get in touch.

Diffly is a tool for exploring Subversion working copies. It shows all files with changes and, clicking on a file, shows a highlighted view of the changes for that file. When you are ready to commit Diffly makes it easy to select the files you want to check-in and assemble a useful commit message.

Diffly does not attempt to be a general Subversion GUI but is, instead, streamlined to make the process of browsing and committing simple, logical, and fast. It makes a good complement to a more sophisticated, but less focused, client like the excellent SvnX from La Chose Interactive.

Features

  • Focused around core developer workflow. Checking in is something we do a lot, Diffly makes it a smooth process.
  • Browse changes across an entire working copy within an integrated, customizable, browser interface.
  • Filters let you hide the things you are not interested in, e.g. folders, externals, and unversioned files, ...
  • Search filter to narrow down to files of interest
  • At-a-glance flat file view with option to hide display of paths..
  • Quick open files in FileMerge to see more context around changes.
  • Jump directly from any change to its file location in TextMate
  • Command line integration: diffly (invokable from TextMate)
  • Open multiple working copies simultaneously. Remembers open working copies for next time.
  • Native MacOSX Aqua interface.
  • Automatic updates using the Sparkle framework.
