Visual compare for dynamo scripts

Daniel.Gijsbers · January 13, 2022, 7:47am

For a lot of my dynamo, python, and lua scripts development, I use some of the features that DevOps offers. But I haven’t found a solution for a visual compare for dynamo scripts, and a text-based comparison is rather difficult to understand.

I have been looking around to compare two versions of a Dynamo script visually.
I did find this but its rather old:

ArcadisHackathon/VisualDiff/blob/main/README.md

# Visual Diff for Dynamo

A View Extension for Dynamo to visually compare the differences between two Dynamo Graphs in order to improve collaborative workflows in visual programming.

The project was developed by Michael van Telgen, Robert Wood, and Laurence Elsdon (all representing Arcadis) at the Dynamo and Generative Design Hackathon in Toronto where it was awarded 2nd place!

- This will enable multiple developers collaborating on a single Dynamo graph to clearly communicate changes they are proposing

- Assist in replicating changes across a repository of graphs that all follow a similar pattern/foundation

- Provide an overview of the history of changes to a graph (to better understand why a graph is written as it is)

- Provide code reviewers a clear indication of changes to be assessed in QA review

- Clearly indicate additions/deletions/modifications that may be the result of human error thus quashing bugs before they proliferate
