GitHub File Diff

View diffs of files and directories on GitHub.

What is GitHub File Diff?
GitHub File Diff is a Firefox add-on that allows you to view diffs of files and directories on GitHub. It overrides GitHub's default behavior of showing the entire commit's diff and only shows the relevant files. This is particularly useful for large commits where GitHub only shows a partial diff or none at all. Simply refresh the page to return to the regular view.

Summary

To use this extension, go to a file or directory in GitHub and click the History button. Then, click on any commit. The extension will override the click to show the diffs of only the relevant files instead of GitHub's default behavior of showing the entire commit's diff. This is especially helpful when a commit is very large and GitHub only shows a partial diff or none at all. To get the regular view, simply refresh the page.
