An small and elegant script that compare two latex files with preview versions for Windows. Extremely useful when others revised your paper/work and you need to find the difference. works only on windows.
Changes the default
Remember to commit everything before you run the script, the author is not responsible for any data loss.
First, copy git-latexdiff.bat to your current latex directory. (important)
Then open cmd and execute
git-latexdiff [old_revision] [latex_file|no extension] [newest_version]
For example:
git-latexdiff HEAD~1 main master
Requires the following on your path (so that you can call them from the commmand line):
these 3 should come along with Miktex:
- pdflatex
- latexdiff
- latexpand (available on CTAN)
and:
- perl(active perl is only 20MB in case you are wondering which to install)
Inspired and many thanks to this
