tkdiff is a graphical front end to the diff program. It provides a side-by-side view of the differences between two text files, along with several innovative features such as diff bookmarks, a graphical map of differences for quick navigation, and a facility for slicing diff regions to achieve exactly the merge output desired.

rat is an experiment in composing shell commands to build interactive, text-based interfaces—think “tig-style” navigation with as little custom UI logic as possible. Rather than reimplementing features, it delegates work to existing tools: a shell command generates output, a pager displays it, and “annotators” attach actions to recognized patterns. For example, a mode might run git log --graph and annotate commit hashes so hitting a key can open a diff, check out a branch, or run a follow-up command. ...
