Watch file diffs live in your terminal.
Script Preview
Review this script before executing in your terminal.
livediff is a TUI that watches file changes and shows live diffs in the terminal.
It uses native filesystem events, character-level diff highlighting, .gitignore-aware filtering and custom ignore globs, plus a path argument for watching one folder or file.
During generators, codemods, migrations or formatter runs, it gives immediate change visibility without waiting for git diff after the tool finishes. It also has real-time monitoring, character-level highlighting, an interactive view with a scrollable file list, and flexible filtering that takes both .gitignore and your own patterns.
This tool is good for developers who want feedback while code, docs or config files are still changing inside their repo today.
