    OmniDiff: Open-Source Rust Git Difftool with Content-Aware Comparison

    • Built in Rust, focusing on high performance (<100ms in most cases) and robustness (covering 99.95% of code changes).
    • Utilizes content-aware algorithms to effectively compare not just text, but also binary or structured data like images, fonts, archives, and PDFs.
    • The project is in early stage v0.3.0, but the author has used it as a daily Git tool for months, indicating initial stability validation.
