intentdiff

Distribution

Primary install path:

cargo install intentdiff --locked

Secondary package-manager shims:

npm install -g intentdiff
python -m pip install intentdiff

The npm and PyPI packages are installer shims. They try to download the matching GitHub release archive, verify checksums.txt when present, cache the native binary, and fall back to cargo install intentdiff --locked if no native archive is available.

Native GitHub release archives are built by .github/workflows/release-binaries.yml for:

• x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
• aarch64-apple-darwin
• x86_64-apple-darwin
• x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

The shims support:

• INTENTDIFF_BINARY=/path/to/intentdiff to bypass installer logic.
• INTENTDIFF_VERSION=0.1.0 to select the native release version.

GitHub Actions

Use the repository as an action:

name: intentdiff

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  review-diff:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:

      - uses: harivilasp/intentdiff@v0.1.0
        with:
          args: --check --meaningful-only main...HEAD

The action defaults to --check --meaningful-only.
