Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

CLI to easily generate diffs for JSON and YAML files. Color output. Can patch files based on the diff e.g. apply changes from one k8s deployment to another. Available as a single binary (Go), via Homebrew, and as a docker image. Can also be used as a Go library.

Tradeoffs

There is a web UI as well, but it’s not included in the homebrew formula - you need to download the binary directly to use it.
