trydiffoscope

in-depth comparison of files, archives, etc. (try.diffoscope.org client)

diffoscope will try to get to the bottom of what makes files or directories different. It will recursively unpack archives of many kinds and transform various binary formats into more human readable form to compare them. It can compare two tarballs, ISO images, or PDF just as easily. The differences can be shown in a text or HTML report. diffoscope is developed as part of the “reproducible builds” Debian project. This package contains the https://try.diffoscope.org/ command-line client.
