What is golang-github-hexops-gotextdiff-dev

gotextdiff is a copy of the Go text diffing packages that the official Go language server gopls uses internally to generate unified diffs.

If you’ve previously tried to generate unified text diffs in Go (like the ones you see in Git and on GitHub), you may have found github.com/sergi/go-diff which is a Go port of Neil Fraser’s google-diff-match-patch code - however it does not support unified diffs.

This is arguably one of the best (and most maintained) unified text diffing packages in Go as of at least 2020.
