ecdiff is a free Chrome extension developed by earvinpiamonte that aims to beautify Git and CVS code patches directly on the browser. It offers a convenient solution for developers who need to review and analyze code patches without the need for external tools or software.

One of the key features of ecdiff is its code syntax highlighting, which makes it easier to read and understand the changes made in the patches. The extension also provides a toggle for light and dark mode, allowing users to customize the appearance based on their preferences.

Using ecdiff is straightforward. Simply open a code patch file on your Chrome browser and click on the ecdiff extension icon. This will automatically beautify the code patch and make it more readable.

For those who prefer dark mode, you can easily toggle it on the options page. Simply right-click on the ecdiff extension icon, then click on "Options" to access the settings.

ecdiff supports various types of code patches, including git diff and unified diff code patches created with Eclipse IDE and CVS diff. This makes it versatile and compatible with different development environments.

As an open-source project, ecdiff is available on GitHub for developers who want to contribute or explore its source code. It's a useful tool for anyone working with Git and CVS code patches, providing a convenient and accessible way to beautify and review code changes directly in the browser.
