Technically, it is a wrapper +around [git](http://git-scm.com) and +[latexdiff](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/latexdiff). + +If your LaTeX source is split accross several `*.tex` files, +`git-latexdiff` can call +[latexpand](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/latexpand) to expand it before +running `latexdiff` (this usually works better than using `latexdiff +--flatten`). + +To get the manpage (needed to get `git-latexdiff --help` to work), you +need the `a2x` tool from the asciidoc package. + +Copying +------- + +git-latexdiff's main author is [Matthieu +Moy](https://matthieu-moy.fr/). The script is freely distributable and +modifyable under the terms of the simplified BSD licence. + +Documentation +------------- + +The documentation is available through these commands: + + git-latexdiff -h + git-latexdiff --help-examples + +If you installed the manpage properly, you can get the same +documentation with: + + man git-latexdiff + +The output of git-latexdiff -h is given below: + +``` +Usage: git latexdiff [options] OLD [NEW] + git latexdiff [options] OLD -- + git latexdiff [options] -- OLD +Call latexdiff on two Git revisions of a file. + +OLD and NEW are Git revision identifiers.
