diff4 encrypts diffs and files client-side (AES-256-GCM) before uploading. The server never sees plaintext. Recipients need the passphrase to decrypt.
diff4 must be installed and available on PATH. Use npm i -g @diff4/cli to install.diff4 git-latest
Runs git diff HEAD~1, encrypts the result, and uploads. Use when the user says "preview my last commit" or "send the latest diff."
diff4 git-staged
Runs git diff --staged, encrypts, and uploads. Use when the user says "preview my staged changes" or "send what's about to be committed."
diff4 files path/to/file1.ts path/to/file2.ts
Reads each file (UTF-8 text only), bundles them as JSON, encrypts, and uploads. Supports any number of paths (relative or absolute).
diff4 key-gen [key] - Generate or set the encryption passphrasediff4 key-get - Print the current passphraseAll upload commands (git-latest, git-staged, files) accept:
