Question 1

What are .patch or .diff files?

Accepted Answer

A .patch or .diff file is a text file that contains a list of differences between one or more files. They are commonly generated by version control systems (like Git) or diff utilities to show changes made to source code or other text documents. These files can then be applied to another copy of the original files to reproduce the changes.

Question 2

How do I use the Neel Online Viewer Patch/Diff Viewer?

Click the "Open Local File" button to select a .patch or .diff file from your device. The content will be displayed as plain text.

Question 3

Does this tool apply the patch or show a side-by-side diff?

Accepted Answer

No, this viewer displays the raw text content of the patch/diff file. It does not apply the patch to any files, nor does it provide a visual side-by-side comparison. It's for inspecting the patch file itself.
