Jsdiff CRLF vs LF

This is a example to show that there is no good way to diff files with different file endings with jsdiff.

If you clone this repo on windows (with git autocrlf) you will probably not be able to reproduce the examples below.

On unix Run

file -k crlf.txt lf.txt

And make sure you see

crlf.txt: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators
lf.txt:   ASCII text

GNU diff

Using the --strip-trailing-cr option.

diff --strip-trailing-cr lf.txt crlf.txt
# Returns nothing

git diff

Using the --ignore-cr-at-eol option.

git diff --no-index --ignore-cr-at-eol crlf.txt lf.txt
# Returns nothing

JSDiff

npm test
# node index.js
