- Compare two files or directories:
`difft {{path/to/file_or_directory1}} {{path/to/file_or_directory2}}`
- Only report the presence of differences between the files:
`difft --check-only {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Specify the display mode (default is `side-by-side`):
`difft --display {{side-by-side|side-by-side-show-both|inline|json}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Ignore comments when comparing:
`difft --ignore-comments {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Enable/Disable syntax highlighting of source code (default is `on`):
`difft --syntax-highlight {{on|off}} {{path/to/file1}} {{path/to/file2}}`
- Do not output anything at all if there are no differences between files:
`difft --skip-unchanged {{path/to/file_or_directory1}} {{path/to/file_or_directory2}}`
- Print all programming languages supported by the tool, along with their extensions:
`difft --list-languages`
