What is Diff Generator?

This simple PowerShell Script compares changes from one file to another and outputs it into a file. Its original purpose is to show changes made in english.json for translators working on the Outer Wilds mod, The Stranger They Are.

Compatibility

This only works with Windows machines and whatever other machines that may otherwise are able to run PowerShell.

Downloading

Either download the entire repo as a .zip file or download the .ps1 directly from the repo.

Usage

• Step 1: Right click the .ps1 and click "Run with PowerShell". Make sure you have approved the running of PowerShell scripts if you are on Windows.
• Step 2: Enter the absolute path of the file before changes were made into the Command Line/Terminal Interface. Press "ENTER/RETURN" when complete.
• Step 3: Enter the absolute path of the file after changes were made into the Command Line/Terminal Interface. Press "ENTER/RETURN" when complete.
• Step 4: Enter the desired path, file name, and file extension for where you want to store the diff (ex. "C:/Users/user/Desktop/diff.txt"). This file will contain ONLY the lines that have been added.

And your file should be generated.
