Description

Build outputs, archives, and directories can be compared deeply to reveal why two artifacts differ. It is useful for reproducible-builds work, package audits, and release verification.

This Git package may unpack archives and inspect many file types. Run it only on files you are allowed to analyze, especially when artifacts may contain secrets.
