By default xcdiff will try to search your current directory for two projects (in alphabetical order). You can however specify -p1, -p2 paths explicitly.
xcdiff -p1 <path_to_first_project> -p2 <path_to_second_project>xcdiff has an option to view all the comparators currently implemented.
xcdiff -lLarge projects can have many targets and you may be interested in only a few of them. Use a comma seperated list to specify many targets.
xcdiff -t "Target1, Target2"Xcode projects can have a lot of configurations so you can specify a particular configuration to compare.
xcdiff -c "Beta"xcdiff uses the notion of tags to identify the different types of comparisons it can make. Since you might be interested in looking for a specific type of difference whether it is targets or file references we added the ability to compare by tag.
xcdiff -l # you can use -l to list all the comparators available
xcdiff -g "targets, configurations"For more information on what each of the comparators does, see Comparators.
Since there is a lot of information stored in a .xcodeproj file comparisons can get verbose. We provide output format options to make reading the output easier.
There are three output formats:
console(default, if-fis not specified)jsonmarkdownhtml
xcdiff -f markdown # alternatively json or console
