word diff
I didn’t find information on git diff --word-diff
, but GNU wdiff states that “it works by creating two temporary files, one word per line, and then executes diff on these files.”[1]
With this idea, I can create charachter-based diff by splitting a file one character per line. Originally characher-based diff is only achieved from Levenshtein distance.
